Papua New Guinea Prime Minister Visits Devastating Landslide Site

Papua New Guinea's Prime Minister James Marape visited a remote village in the Enga province, which was struck by a catastrophic landslide last week, estimated to have killed hundreds.

During his visit, Marape surveyed the damage and acknowledged the international aid that has been provided to assist in the aftermath of the disaster. The landslide has left the ground too unstable for heavy machinery, complicating recovery efforts.

This visit marks the government's ongoing response to one of the nation's most tragic natural disasters in recent times.
