- In Papua New Guinea’s Enga province the clean up continues from the disastrous landslide. But there is growing confusion over the number of dead. Aid is slowly making its way to those affected but political turmoil in Port Moresby isn't helping.
Alice Lolohea also spoke with ABC Asia Pacific Foreign Affairs reporter Stephen Dziedzic who is on the ground in PNG about the issues.

So sorry for our people there😢
Where is the PNG Govt and what are they going to do to address the problem. This is very sad and emotional to the loved ones, families and also the properties being destroyed.
Marape will do nothing.
It’s not his province.
Everyone knows that.
He doesn’t care. The whole world can see that in him.
This is so heartbreaking 💔😭😭😭😭
My heart goes out to the beautiful people❤
This disaster is mainly the result of Pogera mining, plis consider these closly and stop mining activities going around PNG, Government 💰🙏
My irish heart 💚 goes out from NYC🇺🇸 to People of Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬.
🇺🇸🫱🏻🫲🏾🇵🇬
My condolences to the friends and families of those lost. May they Rest In Peace.
And as for the Prime Minister, and whichever else political figures, are hampering aid and efforts because of, ..well, nobody really gives a F what your reasons are! There’s NO EXCUSE!!!! Get your heads outta your a$$es and help the People!!!
Thankyu 😓🙏🏻
Of course you are right...Our prime minister is incompetent
Dat gel was on the other side of the river 3 o'clock at night 😊
Aust. Had just donated 2.5 million Aussie Dollars (about K6, million Kina).
I, a bushman from Mendi in the SHP. of PNG would like the thank the Australian Gmt or People or Tax Payers for your Assistance and very Urgently Request Not to sent your hard earn Dollars to any corrupted PNG GMT Agenies or Dept. but request that you, Australia MUST GIVE YOUR 2.5 MILLION DOLLARS OR ABOUT K6 MILLION Kina Direct to the victims of Laigam, Enga Province.
Nb. If the Gmt of PNG can miss use the Covic 19 Aid monies from Donner Agencies, they are Satan in disgusting so they can missuse your Assistance
Michael Lipi konss
Mendi, SHP, PNG.
People's life are important. Please send help asap.
This PM doesn't even care if PNG is gone to the dogs or not....all he cares is his bank account increasing in monetary value thru crook deals..
Its very sad to see that the government of PNG is not taking this emergency as serious as it is. Very poor government effort to save lives. Where are these construction companies you have awarded construction business? You should be ashame of yourself Mr Marape. You should resign for your incompetency in such situation.
ive no room to talk but if your scared of the mountain sliding down more...move away from it and create more space at this point their are no more survivers only the deceased buried under rock....the best way to honor your lost brothers and sisters .. make changes to your lives that will help this never happen again and thier loss will not have been in vain
JM incompetent to address the landslide in Enga.
Oh! Good Lord! How devastating !
No Prime Minister in the world will do like this failed PM Mr marape power angry marape. He should be ashamed of him self.
Luke 21:11 Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 11 There will be great earthquakes, and in one place after another food shortages and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and from heaven great signs
Very sorry
All the Engans members in the government side should live and join the opposition to form a new government... JM is just so selfish..wants his numbers to be secured before looking into this sort of disaster...he is just so selfish... Sir Peter Ipatas should lead all members of Enga to live immediately..
😢😢😢😢😢😢 very sorry 😢😢
G'day,
How comes it to be that the Mountain, above the Village became sufficiently unstable, in the absence of any recent local heavy Rain ?
Had the
Slopes above the Villages been,
Perhaps,
Slowly and progressively
Deforested...?
Thus depriving the Soil of it's otherwise neccessary Matrix of
Living Tree-Roots which hold the Topography together against
Gravity pulling the Dirt & Rocks
Downhill...?
If such were the case,
Was that the result of
Increased population pressure in the area , or because
Nobody wants to carry Firewood
Uphill..., so, therefore
Everybody harvests their Wood from Forests
Above wherever they
Sleep at night...?
Or
Both...?
One notes that the suddenly
Depopulated region had been
Wracked by fighting
Factions violently disputing
Whose Land was
Where...; with
Everybody always wanting to
Claim forever
More...
Will the
Survivors react to their
Now suddenly
Lower population density
By figuring out how to
Get along with their
Neighbours...?
Or will the
Mountains
Move, again ; to
Cull recalcitrant
Selfishnesses -
By again reducing their
Quarrelsome
Numbers...?
One wonders...
Such is life,
Have a good one...
Stay safe.
;-p
Ciao !
... disaster does not play politics...
Aieee sorreh tru all wantok, so sad to see this bad thing happen
Well it was because of the vote of no confidence..
😢😢😢😢
Very unfortunate catastrophy. Urgent government attention needed.
Btw, Belinda Kora, plis buai teeth blo yu ya cleanim liklik. 😬
Honestly! Very unprofessional🤦♂
😭😭😭💔💔
The comments are turned off on the New Caledonia videos, why? Is it guilt because the same thing happened in Australia to the aboriginees and their land was taken by force and named "Australia"
Shame on you Prime Minister James Marape, you have failed your people, they are the priority in a natural disaster like this landslide. You have failed the people here in this province. You are more worried about your own self as a PM and these people have lost loved ones, homes, their lifehood, farms, animals everything and you are worried about you. No gat sem. Christian you call yourself, well this is not Christian when you don't assist them urgently but make them wait and worry about yourself first. Think about your actions as a PM, cause you are failing miserably to PNG and the NATION, PEOPLE and Country. Our Prayers and love are sent to all the people who were affected, lost family, lost homes, lost farms, animals and their livlihood, prayers to all the other nations who are assisting with aid, first responders, food, and medical services required here, now. God Bless you all.
Saddened to know many people died in mysterious disasters like that. But I believe it is most High great Yahweh's judgment to our people to wake up and embrace the truth in the Bible as True Israelites of the Bible by keeping all commandments, laws and statutes of the Bible.
Wages of sin is death. Just accept your fate
Mathew 24:7 For nations will rise against nations and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences and 𝑬𝑨𝑹𝑻𝑯𝑸𝑼𝑨𝑲𝑬𝑺 in various places..
My encouragement to you please stop from whatever activities you are doing and come to christ we are living in a critical time.
India donate 1M$...to PNG
Ask China for help.
Very sorry
Natural disasters caused the lives and propertri.
Our politicians when talking to the media need to use the correct wordings ..Remember the media is transmitting what they are saying to the world...
PNG need to look upon the cross of Jesus Christ.
