Según el centro nacional de catástrofes papú, “la situación continúa siendo inestable pues el deslizamiento de tierras continúa avanzando lentamente, poniendo en peligro tanto a los rescatistas como a los posibles sobrevivientes”.
Horas antes, el alto funcionario de la ONU, Serhan Aktoprak, señaló que los rescatistas están “corriendo contra el tiempo” para encontrar sobrevivientes.
