In February, at least 26 men were killed in Enga Province in an ambush amid tribal violence that prompted Prime Minister James Marape to give arrest powers to the country's military.CARE said Friday's landslide has left debris up to 8 meters deep across 200 square km , cutting off road access, which was making relief efforts difficult.
