UN's Serhan Aktoprak on Papua New Guinea landslide rescue operations
Over 2,000 people could have been buried alive, after a massive landslide struck Papua New Guinea on Friday. Only six bodies have been recovered so far. Rain, unstable ground and flowing water has made it extremely difficult to clear debris. Equipment and aid has been slow to arrive due to the remote location of the disaster site. Mr Serhan Aktoprak, chief of mission in Papua New Guinea at the International Organization for Migration, shared more about rescue and relief operations.
