It is believed that about 670 people have died in a landslide in Papua New Guinea.

The landslide occurred on Friday and was initially estimated to have killed 300 people, but estimates have now gone up significantly.

The landslide affected a village in Enga province, in the north of the country.

Rescue efforts have been hampered by the region’s remoteness and the hilly terrain around the disaster site.

At the time of writing, only five bodies had been recovered from the rubble.
