Papua New Guinea Landslide Claims 700 Lives, U.N. Reports
An estimated 670 people, many feared to be children, are presumed dead after a landslide buried several villages in Papua New Guinea's Enga province. The disaster has displaced at least 1,250 people and complicated rescue efforts due to unstable debris and ongoing tribal warfare. The landslide's cause is still under investigation, with heavy rainfall and lightning being potential triggers. International aid is being mobilized, but recovery efforts are hindered by local mourning practices and roadblocks set up by warring factions.
