In May 2024, BBC News reported a devastating event in Papua New Guinea. According to the report, a deadly landslide, described by villagers as striking “like an exploding bomb,” may have buried over 2,000 people alive. The National Disaster Centre’s Lusete Laso Mana described the damage as “extensive” and noted that it had significantly impacted the country’s economic lifeline. Justine McMahon, the country coordinator for Care Australia, warned that the ground remains unstable and could trigger further landslides.

Local officials and journalists attributed the mountain’s collapse to weeks of heavy rain and wet conditions. This tragic situation underscores the need for better preparedness and response mechanisms.
