Satellite imagery from before and after the landslide show a vast section of the landscape in the mountainous Enga region essentially torn away.
The vast size of the slide is even more visible from nearer the ground. More than 150 houses in Yambali village were buried in debris, officials said Sunday. The country’s National Disaster Center said almost 2,000 were feared to be buried.
