Melbourne | The International Organisation for Migration has increased its estimate of the death toll from a huge landslide in Papua New Guinea to more than 670.
Serhan Aktoprak, the chief of the UN migration agency’s mission in the South Pacific island nation, said on Sunday the revised death toll was based on calculations by Yambali village and Enga provincial officials that more than 150 homes had been buried by Friday’s landslide. The previous estimate had been 60 homes.
