- Hundreds of people are believed to be dead after a massive landslide hit a remote village in Papua New Guinea on Friday.
The natural disaster took place at approximately 3 a.m. local time and resulted in more than 50 Kaokalam village homes being buried, and presumably, many families, too.
Local community leader Andrew Ruing captured footage of the devastating aftermath, showing people carrying their belongings as they traverse rocks and debris. He said landslides are an occurrence that has “never happened before” in the area.
Residents have estimated the death toll to be over 100, however, officials have not yet confirmed. “There are more than 300 lives [that] have been covered,” Ruing said, later echoing residents’ pleas for aid from the national government and “whoever [else] wishes to help.”
Prime Minister James Marape says emergency teams are actively responding to the disaster, adding that he will provide updates when they become available.

Prayers for all victims😔🙏🏻
Much sympathy to the families and friends. Nature can be so cruel
Condolences from Canada that’s a lot of debris and some really big rocks
Yup condolences is all they get
War machine needs the cash so helping people is out of the question
Even Canadians are suffering but the killing must go on at all cost
That’s how completely f k d this ruined Canada has become
If you knew what that country is like, you would save your condolences
Justify your bigoted reply?
@rinalore9416 Oh, did I offend you? I don't need to explain anything to you, but if you must know, that country is one that has an ongoing civil war in which each side commits unimaginable horrors upon each other including cannibalism.

I don't think they all partake in that kind of crazy way and just hearing the word makes me🤢gag.
They don't teach us much about Papau New Guinea here in School and I've not seen anything about it on the news and I'm now grateful for that.
🤦🏻♀️Its the 21st-Century and the World's crazy.
💐Thanks for sharing/scaring me with your🤢reply.
OMG! So horrible
Condoléances to the family’s that has lost there loved ones 😔
😢 Sending POSITIVE THOUGHTS & Prayers 4 All
This is about 3 times more deaths than 1903 Frank Slide Alberta Canada 🇨🇦
It was one of the largest landslides in Canadian history and remains the deadliest, as between 70 and 90 of the town's residents died, most of whom remain buried in the rubble.
This isnt a competition
I think I watched a documentary on this…
Get off your high horse. You are the only one with that idea . Use your brain to comment.@@rethinker167
Thx for this info. As a Canadian, I'm embarrassed to say I'd never heard of this.
My heartfelt condolences gos out to the family's that as lost ther loved ones😢😢😢😢🙏🙏🙏
How awful!!! Condolences!!!! I cannot believe we still cannot insure safe villages in this day and age.
Prayers for the individuals and families
Rip😢, God bless on papua new guinea
Omg, I'm so sorry :(
That really sucks.
I'm so sorry for your loss 🙏 God bless all of your people. It must have been earth quakes that are not getting reported like small ones. That have been cracking and make places unpredictable.
Love and prayers for these people. 🇨🇦
Don’t you just love how people are walking all over the site? If all those people would just stop and help who knows maybe they would find somebody alive.
From the looks of the small village, there are low signs of modern industrial technology. Moving debris manually takes hours to days and a lot of people,If they can move it at all, that's why he is calling for help internationally. Funding and technology to clear the debris can help them. Smaller villages don't function like a modern city and people can't just get water out of a fridge, every little contribution keeps the economy of the village functioning they have to also focus on maintaining order.
Om Shanti 🙏🏻
Too many standing behind the community leader wanting to appear on TV, rather than spending time looking for possible survivors.
Having said that, my thoughts and prayers go to those who are trapped. Hoping they are still alive.
Deeply condolances whose people of papua new guinea lost,r.i.p. for em'all,slide disaster unexpected nature to hale recovery,patiently,well known humanity Aid resource wider resarch,from nearby, look further in matter and figure and else where support,god almighty bless for all neverless

The us Israel will give them money
It is part of the commonwealth under King Charles.
nope, that'd be UK, they're Commonwealth member
Now, let's open an immigration stream for permanent residency
Aeeeee 😭 🙏
So sad but could have been prevented... they put a village at the base of clearcut rain forest?
Insensitive when the people been living there for years, and this has never happened before I’m that country’s history?? Don’t act like you don’t know who’s controlling the weather
oh pls people are everywhere in natural disaster zones. smh
I used to live in PNG.
That's not how things are set up.
Your comment is based on someone else's narrative, so save it for your next 'Just Stop Oil' rally.
You don't know what you're talking about.
Or has the village been there a long time and someone else clear cut the forest, if that was the cause.
@@dawnelder9046 sure could be

I am your sister from Yemen, and by Allah I only spoke out of hunger and distress. My mother, my brothers, and I lessons and tears. We are in a situation that only God knows about. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who brought us to this situation. By Allah Almighty, I did not write this appeal out of distress and distress. Poverty, O world, they have felt it So, I hope for you. By Allah Almighty, Lord of the Great Throne, he ate what I had in the house. By Allah, my brothers, he is my brothers by sitting in the house. Who has no food? By God, we are in a very difficult situation. We have 6 people entering the house, and my father has died, and there is no one who can depend on us and who lives in it.We live in a rented house because we cannot pay the rent we owe. '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ''''''''''''' My brother, my first words are: I swear to God that I will not lie to you or deceive you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced from the war. My family and I live in a rented house in Al-Shahrab 15,000 Yemenis among us, and now we owe 45,000 for 3 months. The owner of the house is one of the people who does not have mercy, by God, my brother. He comes every day, insulting us, talking about us, and moving from the house to the street because we were unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and came back.They came back to talk to the neighbors and we were given the weekend. So we made him swear by God. He will take us out into the street. Have mercy on him and us. Our country is due to this war and we do not find food for our day, and my brothers and I live in a difficult life. Our father died, may God have mercy on him, and we have no one in this world who was with us in these harsh circumstances. My younger brothers went out into the street and saw...The neighbors eat and stand at their door in order to give them bread even if they break it. By God, to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, they closed the door and expelled them and came back crying. They are dying of hunger. No one has mercy on them and a holiday is returned. I have made a living, and now if one of us helps us with a kilo of flour, I swear to God, I am dying of hunger. My brother, I am an alien to God. Then, I ask you to help me for the sake of God. I ask you, by God, to love goodness and to help me, even if you can, by messaging me on WhatsApp.On this number 00967717354582 and ask for the name of my card and send it and do not be late and may God reward you with all the best, my brothers Sagar, see how they are and help us and save us before they throw us out in the street, you will be lost or we will die of hunger. My family and I ask you, by God, if you are able to help us, do not be late and may God reward you well..`/--~«««~-♡~♡~♡~~•~•~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡~♡♡♡~~~: ~:~¡~¡~¡~;I.i.i.i.i.i. i.I.|-..😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Don’t hold your breath.😅
Bot begging in the name of a non existent God. Your God will help.
@@user-hz5zl1do2wI see this exact post on so many sites with people in legitimate and immediate tragedy. I hate bots
Quit injecting your destructive fiction into a tragic situation
So the earth moved…
It’s not a wise decision to live near natural disaster areas surely they know that. I haven’t seen the broadcast but I picture no trees.
That wasn't a natural catastrophe, that's a climate-change disaster and I don't see a lot people rushing in to help the helpless in Papa New Guinea (who's just as important to this World as each of our Countries are.
The people are using sticks and shovels, where's the rich Countries and why aren't they helping!
I want New Guinea to call on Canada for money, our Government gives it away to everyone but Canadians!
I'm so sorry for the losses and my condolences go to the ones who lost loved-ones.
A terrible act of nature. If they only had a carbon tax.
Psyop.
Wittenberg?
lol more new Canadians on the way for Trudeau
