新华社北京5月25日电 巴布亚新几内亚首都莫尔斯比港西北约600公里的一个村庄在当地时间24日凌晨3时左右遭遇了严重山体滑坡，导致300余人被埋，1100多座房屋被毁。据路透社报道，此次灾害预计将造成上百人遇难。
灾情发生后，巴布亚新几内亚政府立即启动紧急救援机制，组织了大量救援人员和设备前往现场进行搜救工作。由于受灾地区地形复杂，救援行动面临重重困难。据初步统计，已有超过150名受困者被成功救出，但仍有大量人员下落不明。
据悉，此次山体滑坡是由于连日来的强降雨引发的。气象部门提醒，巴布亚新几内亚部分地区仍将持续降雨，可能还会发生类似灾害，提醒当地居民注意安全，避免前往易发生地质灾害的区域。
中国政府对此表示深切关注，并已通过国际组织向巴布亚新几内亚提供了紧急救援物资和资金支持，以帮助受灾民众渡过难关。同时，中国政府也呼吁国际社会伸出援手，共同帮助受灾地区恢复重建。
目前，救援工作仍在紧张进行中，希望所有失联人员能够平安获救。我们将持续关注救援进展，并及时向公众通报最新情况。

Beijing, May 25th, 2023 – A village located approximately 600 kilometers northwest of Port Moresby, the capital of Papua New Guinea, suffered a severe landslide at around 3:00 a.m. local time on May 24th. The disaster has resulted in over 300 people being buried and the destruction of more than 1,100 houses. According to a report by Reuters, the incident is expected to claim the lives of over a hundred people.
Immediately after the disaster, the Papua New Guinea government activated the emergency rescue mechanism and dispatched a large number of rescue personnel and equipment to the scene for search and rescue operations. The rescue efforts are facing numerous difficulties due to the complex terrain of the affected area. According to preliminary statistics, more than 150 trapped individuals have been successfully rescued, but many are still missing.
It is reported that the landslide was caused by continuous heavy rainfall. The meteorological department has warned that parts of Papua New Guinea will continue to experience rainfall, potentially leading to similar disasters. It is advised for local residents to pay attention to safety and avoid areas prone to geological hazards.
The Chinese government expresses deep concern over the incident and has provided emergency relief supplies and financial support to Papua New Guinea through international organizations to help the affected population get through the difficulties. At the same time, the Chinese government also calls on the international community to offer assistance and work together to help the affected areas recover and rebuild.
At present, rescue operations are still ongoing, and we hope that all the missing persons can be safely rescued. We will continue to follow up on the rescue progress and promptly inform the public of the latest situation.
