The government of Papua New Guinea has ordered thousands of residents to evacuate from the path of an 'active' landslide in the northern Enga region. The landslide occurred on Friday, burying an initial estimate of more than 2,000 people. Relief teams have been deployed to the area, but the odds of finding survivors are slim.
