More than 2,000 people could have been buried alive, after a massive landslide struck Papua New Guinea on Friday. UN officials -- who earlier put the toll at over 600 -- said the significantly higher count is an unverified estimate. Only six bodies have been recovered so far. Rain, unstable ground and flowing water has made it extremely difficult to clear debris. Equipment and aid has been slow to arrive due to the remote location of the disaster site. The UN reported that the first excavator only reached the site late on Sunday.
