Prime Minister James Marape said authorities were responding and he would release information about the destruction and loss of life when it was available. “It has occurred when people were still asleep in the early hours, and the entire village has gone down,” Laruma told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.. “From what I can presume, it’s about 100-plus people who are buried beneath the ground.”
“There are some huge stones and plants, trees. The buildings collapsed,” Role said. “These things are making it hard to find the bodies.”
