The Papua New Guinea government has ordered evacuations as a still-active landslide buried over 2,000 people, with slim hopes of finding survivors. Rescue efforts in the remote Enga region face challenges due to treacherous terrain and ongoing landslides. Military checkpoints aid in moving residents to safety, but heavy equipment and aid are slow to arrive. Conflicting death toll estimates range from 162 to over 2,000, reflecting the difficulty of assessing the population. Officials exercise caution in disclosing figures, emphasizing the need for thorough assessment amid the unfolding disaster.
