The Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea, James Marape, has visited a remote village affected by a deadly landslide that occurred last week. The government estimates that over 2,000 people may have been buried alive, while the United Nations puts the death toll at around 670. The Prime Minister attributes the disaster to "extraordinary rainfall" and changes in weather patterns.

    1. It's basically a mountain that has fallen on their heads.
    2. It's an entire village and shops and a fuel station and a lodge and the church and the school … all of that has gone.

    1. This year, we had extraordinary rainfall that has caused flooding in river areas, sea level rise in coastal areas and landslips in a few areas.
    2. The country is with you in your time of sorrow.
    3. We have faced extraordinary weather patterns and changes from dryness to wetness.
    4. Our people in that village went to sleep for the last time, not knowing they would breathe their last breath as they were sleeping peacefully. Nature threw a disastrous landslip, submerged or covered the village.
