Papua New Guinea says more than 2,000 people buried in landslide
A UN agency has warned it is "very unlikely" more survivors of Papua New Guinea's deadly landslide will be found.
Thousands of people living near the site of a deadly Papua New Guinea landslide have been told they may have to evacuate because of the risk of further slips, a top provincial official said.
A combination of rainfall, in-fighting and difficult terrain have made rescue operations increasingly difficult after a disaster killed as many as 2,000 people.
