Aid workers and government officials have been threatened by people in Papua New Guinea who are angry at the slow delivery of emergency help 10 days after a 7.5 magnitude earthquake struck the highlands.
Care Australia estimate half a million people have been affected by the quake, with 150,000 in desperate need of emergency supplies and more than 100 believed to be dead.
Anna Bryan, Care’s program director in the country, said frustration has grown in the worst hit areas as aftershocks continued to strike.
On Wednesday, a 6.8 magnitude aftershock killed a family of six when their house collapsed and burst into flames.
