A bridge has collapsed on the main route for transporting aid and equipment to the site of a landslide in Papua New Guinea that has trapped at least 2,000 people, a UN agency said today, describing the ground situation as unstable in areas where rescue teams are working. “So what has happened is that (the collapse of the bridge) has cut off the main highway, which leads to (province) Enga,” Itagi Viriri, regional representative of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), told a news conference in Geneva, via video link from Bangkok. He said this results in heavy equipment used in rescue efforts being transported via a longer, alternative route. “The conditions are very, very difficult. In some places the ground is still moving,” he said, adding that it was still raining in the area of the crash. Source: RES
