Papua New Guinea landslide buries at least 2,000 people
Papua New Guinea estimates that 2,000 people were buried alive in last Friday's landslide as assessments of casualties have varied widely since the disaster.
The United Nations had estimated that 670 people were killed by the landslide in the South Pacific island nation's mountainous interior.

This could be earthquakes in S America, the tsunami in Thailand, or, what just happened in Papua New Guinea. Wonderful warm sweet kind people live in settings where they are completely vulnerable due to their innocence and lack of being able to be prepared.

My prayers & wishes are worthless & only make ME feel better, what reputable charity can I send a $ donation to?
Excellent reporting
This area is so very remote, and underdeveloped, and also throw in tribal and domestic conflict in the mix, and the scalar size of the rockslides maximizes the disaster by 1000%. Insane! Prayers first aoff, and you gonna' need aid, supplies, meds . . . etc.

Yup. Nature has its way of reminding humanity that its own petty squabbles, wealth wars, political power plays, and thievery ain't NOTHIN' compared to a good ol' tsunami, landslide, inferno, flood, quake, or volcanic eruption. 💪😎✌️ But it isn't as though mankind cares about any of that. After a few weeks, it'll be bidnezz as usual, baby! 😂 Rich will be richin', poor will be servin'.
So it goes from 663 to 2000 in less than 3 hours of official reporting? Someone is failing badly as an official from the beginning

This is a horrible sight I can't believe it. I don't mean to sound cruel and I know you want to see your loved ones but they are very very deep and you guys are spending all this energy and you have nothing to begin with. I think it's like more important to set up food and water for you. Instead of digging . I think that they should start making sure the survivors have the things you need. Its to deep.
That is horrifying.

So much devastation across the globe, in all forms. We can only pray for all the families affected in Papua New Guinea, that they find their loved ones alive and rescue teams are able to assist soon. Many still impacted by the recent sudden floods in other countries and even more caught in wars. Pray for the Creator to be patient with all of us humans.
