A couple has been found alive three days after a deadly landslide hit Papua New Guinea (PNG), media reports say, as the government informed the United Nations that more than 2,000 people may be buried under the rubble.
Overnight rains in the South Pacific island’s Enga province on Monday raised fears that the tonnes of rubble that covered the area could become dangerously unstable, hampering rescue efforts.
Hopes are fading for survivors, and volunteers are recovering bodies from the debris using their hands and garden tools. Al Jazeea’s Jessica Washington reports. Subscribe to our channel: http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe
