People gather at the site of a landslide in Maip Mulitaka in Papua New Guinea's Enga Province on May 24, 2024. Local officials and aid groups said a massive landslide struck a village in Papua New Guinea's highlands on May 24, with many feared dead. Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea—Nearby tribal violence has complicated recovery efforts at a catastrophic landslide in Papua New Guinea, aid workers said Sunday, as the search continued for hundreds of villagers feared dead under the rubble.
United Nations official Serhan Aktoprak said tribal fighting had broken out along the only remaining route into the disaster zone. “Working across the debris is very dangerous and the land is still sliding,” he said from Port Moresby, relaying the concerns of a UN emergency response team working in Enga.
Papua New Guinea has one of the wettest climates in the world, according to the World Bank, with the heaviest downpours concentrated in the humid highland regions.
