‘It destroyed everything we had’: aid slow to arrive at Papua New Guinea landslide

Officials in Papua New Guinea have said they do not expect to find survivors under the rubble of a massive landslide in the remote north, with the exact number of dead under almost two storeys of debris and mud still unknown.

Heavy equipment and aid have been slow to arrive at the site of the landslide – which hit almost a week ago – because of the treacherous mountain terrain, a damaged bridge on the main road, and tribal unrest in the area
