MELBOURNE, Australia—More than 100 people are believed to have been killed Friday in a landslide that buried a village in a remote part of Papua New Guinea, Australian Broadcasting Corp. reported.
The landslide reportedly hit Kaokalam village in Enga province, about 600 kilometers northwest of the South Pacific island nation’s capital of Port Moresby, at roughly 3 a.m. local time , ABC reported.
“It has occurred when people were still asleep in the early hours, and the entire village has gone down,” Laruma told ABC. “From what I can presume, it’s about 100-plus people who are buried beneath the ground.” “There are some huge stones and plants, trees. The buildings collapsed,” Role said. “These things are making it hard to find the bodies fast.”
