#ClimateDiary The Papua New Guinea national disaster centre on Friday’s landslide in a remote village in the northern part of the country:

“The landslide buried more than 2,000 people alive and caused major destruction to buildings, food gardens and caused major impact on the economic lifeline of the country,”
