He said: “All the families were buried under the rubble. He added, “Everyone in the Enga region has a friend or family member who was killed, is missing or affected by this tragedy.”

Tsaka said the area is full of houses, businesses, churches and schools. “It was completely wiped out. It’s the surface of the moon – it’s just a rock,” he said. Tsaka said he spoke this morning in an emergency online meeting with foreign governments and asked for immediate assistance to address the ground threat, manage the response and ensure speedy delivery.
He said: “I cannot overcome this tragedy. Rescue efforts have been delayed by the site’s remote location, in Papua New Guinea, and the destruction of roads and nearby ethnic clashes.
