A major land slip in Papua New Guinea has killed at least 14 people, including seven children.
Heavy rain in the Eastern Highlands caused a hill to give way near a rural bus stop.
An avalanche of mud slammed into the area and completely covered a 15 seater bus parked on the side of the highway.
Seven children have been confirmed among the dead.
Disaster authorities say it's unclear just how many people have been killed because recovery efforts are being hampered local landowners.
They are demanding compensation money from the government before allowing the search to take place.
