"We have Papua New Guinea's defence force rescue team already on its way to the Enga Province to assist the Enga provincial government carry on with the rescue operations that they have had since the incident has happened, the landslide. The location is geographically very hard to access. You can only have helicopters access that place. The ones that are alive have naturally been taken to a safer location by the Enga provincial government.
"Currently, the bodies are yet to be retrieved. The locals are still working and trying to dig out more of the bodies. ... Their gardens were wiped out. Animals and livestock, yeah, everything was buried underneath there. They're appealing to our government, the NGOs for food and shelter temporarily. And they're also working with their locals, they're trying to retrieve the bodies and they're trying to dig out some of the bodies now.
"More than 48 hours after the landslide occurred, so there is a possibility that some people may still, some people may still be alive. However, the bigger concern, I think, for the authorities is to relocate those people who weren't directly affected by the landslide, but they have been impacted by the destruction of their houses."
