UN Says 670 People
Buried In Landslide.
United
Nations says 670 people are estimated to be buried under a massive landslide in
Papua New Guinea.
The head of the International Organization
for Migration in Papua New Guinea, Serhan Aktoprak, said the impact the
landslide in the country's isolated Enga province was greater than initially
thought.
The affected areas are in the highlands of
Enga, in the north of the island nation in the south-west Pacific.
Aktoprak also said, rescuers were at risk
because "the land still sliding".
At least 1,000 people have been displaced
as a result of the disaster, while, Aktoprak said, gardens that had grown food
and water supplies were almost completely wiped out.
