Papua New Guinea landslide buries over 2,000 people, government says

SYDNEY. The recent landslide in Papua New Guinea has buried more than 2,000 people, the government reported on Monday. The catastrophic event, which occurred three days ago in the remote Maip-Mulitaka area of Enga province, has left rescuers grappling with treacherous terrain and diminishing hopes of finding survivors.

The National Disaster Centre provided the updated figure in a letter to the United Nations, which had initially estimated over 670 possible deaths. The disparity underscores the challenges in obtaining accurate data from this isolated region, where the last reliable census was conducted in 2000.

Defense Minister Billy Joseph confirmed that approximately 4,000 people resided in the six villages affected by the landslide, which struck in the early hours of Friday while most were asleep. Over 150 houses were buried under debris nearly two stories high, with rescuers reporting hearing screams from beneath the rubble.

“I have 18 of my family members being buried under the debris and soil that I am standing on, and a lot more family members in the village I cannot count,” said resident Evit Kambu. “But I cannot retrieve the bodies so I am standing here helplessly.”

Despite over 72 hours having passed since the disaster, residents continued to use spades, sticks, and their bare hands to move the debris. According to provincial authorities, only five bodies had been recovered so far.

Funeral Amidst the Ruins

Villagers held a poignant funeral on Monday, with mourners walking behind a coffin, weeping, as captured in a video by a U.N. official. The remote location and ongoing tribal warfare have slowed the arrival of heavy equipment and aid. Tribal violence on Saturday resulted in eight deaths and the burning of 30 houses, further complicating rescue efforts. Aid convoys, escorted by soldiers, navigate through the still-smoking remains of these houses.

The first excavator reached the disaster site late on Sunday, as reported by a U.N. official. Many villagers are still uncertain whether their loved ones were caught in the landslide, as people often move between homes of friends and relatives. “It’s not like everyone is in the same house at the same time, so you have fathers who don’t know where their children are, mothers who don’t know where husbands are, it’s chaotic,” explained Matthew Hewitt Tapus, a pastor from Port Moresby whose home village is near the disaster site.

Slim Chances of Survival

Minister Joseph indicated that the defense operations chief was dispatched to the disaster site within 24 hours, supported by the Australian Defence Force. A PNG defense engineering team and a military helicopter for evacuations are also on-site. The government has requested a New Zealand Defence Force geotechnical team to assess the stability of the land, as heavy earth-moving equipment could be hazardous.

The province is in dire need of capacity building for disaster warnings, the minister emphasized, adding that the government plans to rebuild the villages and reopen the main highway to the town and the Porgera gold mine.

Australia has pledged an initial aid package of A$2.5 million ($1.66 million) and will send technical experts to assist in rescue and recovery efforts. China has also offered its assistance.

Unstable ground, rain, and flowing water are making it extremely perilous for both residents and rescue teams to clear debris, noted Serhan Aktoprak, chief of the U.N. migration agency’s mission in PNG. Over 250 homes have been evacuated, displacing more than 1,250 people.

Some residents are reluctant to use heavy machinery, wishing to respect the mourning period. “At this point, people I think are realizing that the chances are very slim that anyone can basically be taken out alive,” Aktoprak added somberly.

Lima ang kumpirmadong patay at pito ang sugatan dahil sa pananalasa ng Bagyong Aghon, ayon sa ulat ng Office of Civil Defense (OCD) nitong Lunes. Patuloy pa rin ang pag-validate ng mga nasawi, ayon kay OCD Spokesperson Edgar Posadas.

“Opisyal, wala pang casualties na may kinalaman kay Aghon. Pero sa kasamaang palad, may lima. Isang bata sa Calabarzon, isa sa Region X… at 3 sa Calabarzon. Itong lima is still for validation,” pahayag ni Posadas.

Batay sa situational report mula sa National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), umabot sa 8,465 pamilya o 19,373 indibidwal ang naapektuhan ng bagyo. Nasa 5,343 katao ang napilitang lumikas, kung saan marami sa kanila ay nananatili sa 81 evacuation centers na itinayo ng gobyerno.

Nagdulot din ng matinding pagbaha ang bagyo sa 13 lugar sa rehiyon ng Mimaropa at Eastern Visayas, at nasira ang 22 bahay, apat dito ay tuluyang nawasak. Idineklara na rin ang state of calamity sa Lucena City, Quezon.

Samantala, sinabi ng Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) na nakapagbigay sila ng P5 milyong halaga ng standby funds sa Calabarzon, isa sa mga rehiyong labis na naapektuhan ng Aghon. Ayon kay DSWD Disaster Response Management Bureau Director Michael Christopher Mathay, mahigit 40,000 food packs na nagkakahalaga ng P29 milyon at iba pang food at non-food items na nagkakahalaga ng P35 milyon ang naipamahagi na sa rehiyon.

Patuloy na nagsusumikap ang mga ahensya ng gobyerno upang matulungan ang mga apektadong pamilya at maibalik ang normal na pamumuhay sa mga nasalantang lugar.

Israeli Airstrike on Rafah tent camp kills 45, ignites international outrage

CAIRO/JERUSALEM. An Israeli airstrike in the Gaza city of Rafah has resulted in the deaths of 45 people, igniting a massive blaze and prompting an outcry from global leaders. The attack on the tent camp late Sunday night left Palestinian families scrambling to hospitals with their dead and wounded.

“We were praying… and we were getting our children’s beds ready to sleep. There was nothing unusual, then we heard a very loud noise, and fire erupted around us,” recounted Umm Mohamed Al-Attar, a Palestinian mother. “All the children started screaming… The sound was terrifying; we felt like the metal was about to collapse on us, and shrapnel fell into the rooms.”

The strike hit the Tel Al-Sultan neighborhood, where thousands had sought refuge following an Israeli ground offensive in eastern Rafah two weeks ago. Video footage shows a fire raging in the darkness as people scream in panic, with young men trying to move sheets of corrugated iron while a lone fire truck attempts to douse the flames.

Health officials in Hamas-run Gaza reported that more than half of the dead were women, children, and elderly people, and the death toll is expected to rise due to severe burns.

Israel’s military has stated it is investigating whether the strike, intended to target Hamas commanders, caused the fire. The military claimed the operation eliminated Hamas’ chief of staff for the West Bank and another official responsible for attacks on Israelis. This followed the interception of eight rockets fired toward Israel from the Rafah area.

Global leaders condemned the attack. French President Emmanuel Macron expressed his outrage, declaring, “These operations must stop. There are no safe areas in Rafah for Palestinian civilians.” Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock and EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell called for adherence to the International Court of Justice’s ruling to halt the assault. “International humanitarian law applies to all, including Israel’s conduct of the war,” Baerbock stated.

By daylight, the camp was a scene of devastation with smoking wreckage, twisted metal, and charred belongings. Abed Mohammed Al-Attar, who lost several relatives in the fire, lamented, “The army is a liar. There is no security in Gaza. Here he (my brother) is with his wife, they were martyred. What have they done to deserve this? Their children have been orphaned.”

Hospitals in Rafah were overwhelmed with the wounded, and some patients were transferred to facilities in Khan Younis for treatment. The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the attack as a “heinous massacre.”

The ongoing conflict has claimed over 36,000 Palestinian lives according to Gaza’s health ministry. Israel launched its operation after a Hamas-led attack on October 7 killed around 1,200 Israelis and took more than 250 hostages. Despite the global condemnation, Israel asserts its goal is to eliminate Hamas fighters and rescue hostages in Rafah.

Ireland’s Foreign Minister Micheal Martin decried the violence, saying, “On top of the hunger, on top of the starvation, the refusal to allow aid in sufficient volumes, what we witnessed last night is barbaric.” Egypt and several Gulf nations also condemned the attack, with Qatar warning that the strike could impede efforts to mediate a ceasefire and hostage exchange.

As Israeli tanks continue to advance around Rafah, near the crossing point into Egypt, the international community calls for an end to the violence and the protection of civilian lives.

60-year-old beauty contestant’s dreams shattered at Miss Argentina pageant

60-year-old beauty contestant’s dreams shattered at Miss Argentina pageant

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina. The dreams of a 60-year-old woman aiming to become the oldest Miss Universe contestant in history came to an abrupt end Saturday at Argentina’s annual beauty pageant.

Alejandra Marisa Rodríguez, a hospital legal adviser, had gained international attention and acclaim for her participation in the Miss Argentina competition, challenging ageism in a world often fixated on youth. Although she did not win the coveted Miss Argentina title, she was awarded the title of “Best Face,” one of several categories including Best Evening Gown, Best Swimsuit, and Most Elegant.

During the contest, Rodríguez expressed gratitude to those who supported her victory in the Miss Buenos Aires competition last month. Her triumph there followed Miss Universe’s removal of its long-standing age limit, catapulting her from obscurity to local fame.

“As a result of what happened to me, I believe a new door has opened for many people who perhaps did not have it easy,” Rodríguez told The Associated Press backstage, still dressed in her red cocktail dress with slits revealing her legs. “It was an adventure and I had no expectations of this other than taking on a new challenge.”

For the swimsuit portion of the Miss Argentina contest, Rodríguez chose a modest one-piece suit with a shawl draped over her shoulders, adding a playful shimmy to the delight of the audience. However, the judges favored Magali Benejam, a 29-year-old actress and model from Cordoba, who wore a skimpy blue bikini and sky-high stilettos. Benejam won “Best Swimsuit” and ultimately the Miss Argentina crown.

“I’m so excited and so grateful to be here because the competition was not easy,” Benejam told AP. She will represent Argentina in Mexico City for the global competition in November.

Benejam’s victory, like Rodríguez’s participation, would have been impossible a year ago due to the pageant’s previous age cap of 28. This year, for the first time in its 73-year history, the Miss Universe contest is welcoming participants over the age of 18 without an upper limit.

This change is part of a broader effort by the Miss Universe pageant to modernize and address longstanding feminist criticisms. The pageant has removed many controversial eligibility requirements, allowing married, pregnant, lesbian, and transgender women to compete. It also eliminated all mentions of “beauty” from its website, emphasizing instead qualities like empathy, confidence, and authenticity.

Despite these reforms, the contest has retained language highlighting “young women,” indirectly maintaining certain beauty standards. Rodríguez’s entry into the competition sparked debate, with some praising her challenge to ageism, while others, like Argentine feminist activist Lala Pasquinelli, questioned the message it sent.

“It’s contributing to a sense that everyone should be able to look like this, all 60-year-old women should have the appearance of youth and freshness, as if they were 25,” Pasquinelli said. “If they don’t, it’s because they aren’t willing to make the sacrifices.”

While Rodríguez’s journey at the Miss Argentina pageant ended without the crown, her participation has undoubtedly left a lasting impact, inspiring discussions about beauty, age, and societal expectations.

House: Dapat sagutin din ng PhilHealth ang dialysis meds ng mga may diabetes

MAYNILA. Inatasan ni House Speaker Martin Romualdez ang PhilHealth na pag-aralan kung maaari nilang sagutin na rin ang mga gamot na ginagamit sa pagpapa-dialysis ng mga pasyenteng may diabetes.

Ayon kay House Deputy Majority Floor Leader Erwin Tulfo, ito ang nais ng mga mambabatas sa Kongreso upang mabawasan o tuluyang malibre ang mga gamot ng mga may acute diabetes sa bansa.

“4.5 milyong Pilipino ang may diabetes at halos kalahati nito ang nagpapa-dialysis ng isa hanggang tatlong beses isang linggo,” ani Cong. Tulfo. Dagdag pa niya, “umaabot kasi ng P900 hanggang P1,500 ang injection pagkatapos ng dialysis session ng isang pasyente.”

Sinabi ni Tulfo na may instruction si Speaker Romualdez na pag-aralan agad ng PhilHealth kung papaano malibre o sagutin na lang nila ang gamot, totally. Maraming mga dialysis patients daw kasi ang lumapit na kay Romualdez para hilingin na gawing libre ang gamot o makakuha man lang ng discount.

“Sabi ni Speaker sa kanila naiintindihan niya ang bigat ng gastusin sa halos araw-araw ng pagpapa-dialysis,” ayon kay Tulfo. “The house leadership want to unload o bawasan itong pasanin sa pagpapa-dialysis,” dagdag pa ng mambabatas.

Sa ngayon, sinasagot na ng PhilHealth ang pagpapadialysis ng mga miyembro nito pero hindi pa kasama ang mga gamot na kailangan pagkatapos ng session.

Papua New Guinea landslide claims over 670 lives, says UN migration agency

Papua New Guinea landslide claims over 670 lives, says UN migration agency

MELBOURNE, Australia. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has updated its estimate of the death toll from the devastating landslide in Papua New Guinea to over 670 people. Emergency responders and grieving families have now lost hope of finding any survivors.

Serhan Aktoprak, head of the UN migration agency’s mission in Papua New Guinea, stated that the revised figures are based on new data from Yambali village and Enga provincial officials, who reported that over 150 homes were buried by the landslide on Friday. The initial estimate was 60 homes.

“They are estimating that more than 670 people are under the soil at the moment,” Aktoprak told The Associated Press.

Local authorities initially reported at least 100 fatalities on Friday. By Sunday, only five bodies and part of a sixth had been recovered, despite the arrival of an excavator donated by a local builder to aid the recovery efforts.

As rescue teams worked to relocate survivors to safer areas, they faced additional threats from unstable terrain and ongoing tribal warfare, common in the Papua New Guinea Highlands. About 250 more houses have been deemed unsafe, leaving approximately 1,250 people homeless.

The national government is considering whether to formally request additional international aid. Rescuers have abandoned the hope of finding anyone alive beneath 6 to 8 meters (20 to 26 feet) of earth and debris.

“People are coming to terms with this, so there is a serious level of grieving and mourning,” said Aktoprak. He emphasized that the new death toll estimate is “not solid” as it is based on average household sizes and cautioned against speculation.

Authorities are setting up evacuation centers on safer grounds around the massive debris field, which spans an area equivalent to three to four football fields and has obstructed the main highway through the province.

Supply convoys, escorted by Papua New Guinea soldiers, have been transporting essential goods to the affected village, 60 kilometers (35 miles) from the provincial capital, Wabag. These convoys have encountered risks due to tribal conflicts in the region.

In an unrelated clash, eight locals were killed, and around 30 homes and five businesses were destroyed in tribal violence on Saturday. Aktoprak expressed concerns about potential opportunistic crimes, such as carjacking or robbery, amidst the chaos.

Longstanding tribal warfare complicates the accuracy of population estimates in the affected village, as many people had recently moved there to escape clan violence. Authorities now acknowledge the village population was likely much higher than the 4,000 initially estimated.

Justine McMahon, country director of CARE International, highlighted the urgent need to relocate survivors to stable ground and provide essential supplies. The military is leading these efforts.

As of Sunday, the numbers of injured and missing were still being determined. Seven people, including a child, had received medical treatment, though their conditions were not detailed.

Papua New Guinea Defense Minister Billy Joseph and National Disaster Center director Laso Mana were scheduled to fly to Wabag to assess the situation firsthand.

Aktoprak expects the government to decide by Tuesday whether to request more international aid. The United States and Australia, a close neighbor and major aid provider, have already expressed their readiness to assist further.

Papua New Guinea, a diverse and developing nation with 800 languages and 10 million people, mostly subsistence farmers, now faces the monumental task of recovering from this disaster.

Bangladesh evacuates hundreds of thousands as severe cyclone approaches

NEW DELHI. Bangladesh has evacuated nearly 800,000 people from vulnerable areas as a severe cyclone looms, threatening the country and neighboring India. The storm, which has formed over the Bay of Bengal, is expected to make landfall around midnight Sunday.

According to the India Meteorological Department, the cyclone is projected to hit maximum wind speeds of up to 120 kilometers per hour (75 mph), with gusts reaching 135 kph (85 mph). The areas most at risk include West Bengal’s Sagar Island in India and Bangladesh’s Khepupara region.

Bangladesh’s junior minister for disaster management and relief, Mohibur Rahman, confirmed that volunteers have been deployed to assist in evacuating residents to 4,000 cyclone shelters located throughout the coastal region. Additionally, all schools in the area have been closed until further notice to ensure public safety.

In preparation for the cyclone, several airports in the region have been closed. India’s Kolkata airport will shut down for 21 hours starting from midnight Sunday. Bangladesh has closed the airport in Chattogram and canceled all domestic flights to and from Cox’s Bazar.

Bangladeshi authorities have also suspended operations at the country’s largest port in Chittagong, relocating more than a dozen ships from the jetties to the deep sea as a precautionary measure.

This cyclone marks the first major storm in the Bay of Bengal ahead of the monsoon season, which typically runs from June to September. Moderate to heavy rainfall is expected across coastal districts in India’s West Bengal state, with a storm surge about 1 meter (3.1 feet) high predicted to flood low-lying areas in both coastal West Bengal and Bangladesh.

Such storms are known to uproot trees and cause significant damage to thatched homes, power lines, and communication infrastructure.

India’s coastal regions frequently experience cyclones, but changing climate patterns have increased the intensity of these storms, making disaster preparedness more critical than ever.

200 aid trucks expected to enter Gaza

200 aid trucks expected to enter Gaza

CAIRO. Israel is set to allow around 200 aid trucks into Gaza through the Kerem Shalom crossing, bypassing the main Rafah entry point, which has been closed for weeks. This development comes after an agreement between U.S. President Joe Biden and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to temporarily redirect aid through Kerem Shalom.

Khaled Zayed, an Egyptian Red Crescent official, confirmed to Reuters that the aid convoy, including four fuel trucks, is expected to enter Gaza on Sunday. A video shared by Egypt’s Al Qahera News TV showed the aid trucks entering Kerem Shalom, which historically served as the primary commercial crossing between Israel, Egypt, and Gaza before the current conflict escalated.

Israel faces increasing pressure to facilitate more aid deliveries to Gaza, where over seven months of warfare have led to widespread destruction and severe hunger. The Rafah crossing, the main entry for humanitarian aid, has been closed for nearly three weeks since Israel took control of the Palestinian side on May 6 during its intensified military operations in the area.

Egypt has resisted reopening its side of Rafah, fearing a large influx of Palestinian refugees. Meanwhile, Israel claims it is not restricting aid flow and has opened new crossing points in the north. Additionally, the United States has constructed a temporary floating pier off Gaza’s central coast to expedite the distribution of supplies.

Despite an order from the International Court of Justice on Friday to cease attacks in Rafah, Israeli operations have persisted. On Sunday, Israeli strikes in Rafah resulted in the deaths of at least five Palestinians, according to local medical sources. Israeli tanks have also been active around the city’s edges, close to the southern crossing point into Egypt.

Israel’s offensive aims to eliminate Hamas fighters and rescue hostages, but the assault has exacerbated the civilian crisis and provoked international condemnation. Gaza’s health ministry reports that nearly 36,000 Palestinians have been killed since the conflict began. The offensive was launched in response to an attack by Hamas-led militants on southern Israeli communities on October 7, which resulted in approximately 1,200 Israeli deaths and over 250 hostages taken.

Ceasefire Prospects

In northern Gaza’s Jabaliya area, intense fighting continued on Sunday. Despite Hamas’s claims of abducting an Israeli soldier, the Israeli military has denied these statements.

Efforts to negotiate a ceasefire and secure the release of more than 100 hostages held in Gaza have stalled. However, recent meetings between Israeli and U.S. intelligence officials and Qatar’s prime minister suggest potential progress. An informed official indicated that talks might resume this week based on new proposals from Egyptian and Qatari mediators, with significant U.S. involvement. Nonetheless, Hamas has not confirmed these developments.

Izzat El-Reshiq, a senior Hamas official, reiterated that no new dates for talks had been communicated. He emphasized Hamas’s demands for a complete and permanent cessation of aggression across the entire Gaza Strip as a prerequisite for any negotiations.

While Israel seeks the return of hostages, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has maintained that the conflict will continue until Hamas is fully dismantled.

Ika-walong landfall ni Aghon pumalo sa Quezon

LUCENA CITY, Quezon. Kaninang 4:30 ng umaga, Mayo 26, pumalo ang ika-walong landfall ng bagyong Aghon sa Lucena City, ayon sa kumpirmasyon ng weather bureau.

Alas siyete ng umaga, ang Aghon ay umiikot na patungong hilaga-kanluran sa Dolores, Quezon, na may bilis na 15 kilometro bawat oras mula sa dating bilis na 10 km/h.

Sinabi rin ng Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) sa kanilang bulletin ng 8:00 ng umaga na patuloy pa rin ang tropical storm na may maximum na sustained winds na 65 km/h. Ngunit ang lakas ng hanging ay umabot sa 110 km/h mula sa dating 90 km/h.

Mas maraming lugar sa Calabarzon ang sumailalim sa Signal No. 2, ayon sa PAGASA mula 8:00 kaninang umaga. Hanggang sa hapon ngayong araw ng Linggo, inaasahan na tatawid ang Aghon sa Calabarzon mainland at sa mga isla ng Polillo. Malamang na mananatili itong isang tropical storm, ngunit maaari rin itong magpahina sa Calabarzon mainland dahil sa “land interaction,” ayon sa PAGASA.

Mamayang gabi hanggang umaga bukas, Lunes, Mayo 27, maaaring nasa silangan na ng baybayin ng Quezon o Aurora ang Aghon.

Naglabas din ang PAGASA ng babala sa storm surge para bukas, Lunes, Mayo 27. Sa kanilang babala, sinabi ng PAGASA na may “minimal hanggang katamtamang panganib” ng storm surges sa “nakabukas at mababang coastal areas” ng Cagayan, Isabela, Aurora, Gitnang Luzon, Metro Manila, Calabarzon, Occidental Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, Marinduque, Romblon, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Albay (kanlurang baybayin), Burias Island, mainland Masbate (kanlurang baybayin), at Aklan.

Samantala, nananatiling epektibo ang gale warning na inilabas ng PAGASA kaninang 5:00 ng umaga. Sakop nito ang mga baybaying tubig ng Marinduque at Quezon, ang katimugang baybayin ng Batangas, at ang hilagaing baybayin ng Camarines Norte. Sinabi ng PAGASA na delikado ang paglalakbay para sa mga maliit na sasakyang pandagat, “kabilang ang lahat ng mga motorbanca ng anumang tonelada.”

Sa labas ng mga lugar na sakop ng gale warning, magdudulot pa rin ang Aghon ng katamtamang hanggang malalakas na alon sa hilagang at silangang baybayin ng Luzon at sa baybayin ng Bicol. Ang mga alon ay may taas na 1.5 hanggang 3.5 metro, kaya’t dapat mag-ingat ang mga maliit na bangka, o kung maaari, iwasan ang paglalayag

 Ayon sa PAGASA, ang bagyong Aghon ay lalabas ng PAR sa Miyerkules.

Nagdulot ng matinding baha ang Aghon sa Mauban, Quezon. Malalim na baha ang sinapit ng mababang bahagi ng Mauban, Quezon dulot ng malakas na ulan bunsod ng Bagyong Aghon. Humihingi ng tulong ang mga residente habang ang National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) ay nasa red alert.
