"Mulitaka, Enga Province"
May, 24th 2024 - 3am The Wee Hour
On this day, in the wee hours of 3 am in the morning when all were fast asleep, natural disaster struck. A landslide of humongous proportions brought down Mt Mungalo sweeping through an entire chain of villages. The size of the debris spread across the size of almost 4 football fields destroying literally everything in its way.
Concrete numbers haven't been disclosed yet but we are told, up to almost 2000 people mostly women and children were burried alive, while sound asleep.
The Displacement and Destruction of Villages
Thousands have been displaced with no where to go or turn to. With a natural disaster that completely wiped out, up to nearly 3 villages, people have been left to near-starvation, exhaustion and have no where to turn to.
We couldn't help but watch in horror, surveying the aftermath of the destruction. And as a PNG community we felt we needed to reach out and help. We wanted to seek your help so together, we can help those who are affected back home in Mulitaka, Enga Province.
