The Papua New Guinea National Disaster Centre is sending a crew by helicopter to assess damage after a landside in Morobe Province. It's thought the landslide could have claimed the lives of 19 women and children. Acting Director for the National Disaster Centre, Martin Mose, says the area is inaccessible by foot, and until the helicopter lands it's difficult to assess the situation accurately.
