MELBOURNE, Australia — Traumatized survivors of the massive landslide estimated to have buried hundreds in Papua New Guinea have been slow to move to safer ground as the South Pacific island nation’s authorities prepare to use heavy machinery to clear debris and risk trigging another landslide, officials said Thursday, May 30, 2024.
Two excavators and a bulldozer were ready to start digging on one side of the mass of debris more than 150 meters wide while another excavator and a bulldozer were also ready on the other side, Tsaka said. Villagers have been digging with spades, farming tools and their bare hands since the disaster in search of survivors or bodies.“It’s still very active.
