Authorities in Papua New Guinea are urgently working to evacuate 7,900 individuals from the central region due to the threat of a second landslide in the village of Yambali.

A previous landslide in Enga province buried over 2,000 people, with only six bodies recovered so far, raising concerns that more than 2,000 individuals may still be trapped.

Rescue efforts are hindered by difficult access, ongoing landslides, and tribal conflicts.

International aid from the US, Australia, New Zealand, and other countries has been promised, with the government seeking additional support from the United Nations.

The disaster has political implications, with the Prime Minister facing a possible vote of no confidence.

The situation remains critical, necessitating ongoing rescue operations and continued international assistance.
