Enga Landslide Emergency in Papua New Guinea

チャリティ活動名 CARE Australia

An estimated 2000 people have been killed. Over 1500 have been displaced. Donate Now.

At about 3am on Friday 24 May, 2024, a landslide engulfed villages in the Enga Province in Papua New Guinea, totally devastating the area and burying houses under 8 metres of rock and rubble, where an estimated 670 men, women and children slept.

CARE International PNG is responding to this humanitarian crisis with an initial supply of food, water and basic hygiene materials. For recovery efforts, CARE will support with shelter, WASH facilities, Protection and Agriculture assistance.

Following the landslide, highway access near Yambali Village is obstructed and will likely take considerable time to clear. This will hinder assessment and relief efforts. Despite the challenges a team including the Provincial Disaster Center, Department of Health, Police and Defence Forces, have reached the site to further assess the situation. CARE is in contact with the team, and stands ready to support the government-led response as appropriate. While the area is not densely populated, our concern is that the death toll could be disproportionately high.

CARE has worked in Enga over the years in humanitarian, development and peace-building projects. Such work forms part of CARE’s broader work throughout the highlands region of Papua New Guinea, across natural disaster preparedness and response, health, gender equality and livelihood promotion.

Please give generously to our PNG Landslide Appeal so that we can immediately provide aid and assistance to those directly displaced and affected.
