Death toll reaches 75 and still counting. Major earthquake in Papua New Guinea (measuring 7.5) over a week ago with two major aftershocks leaves devastation throughout remote parts of Hela and Southern Highlands Province. There is uncertainty on the amount of damage and casualties without access, however, large areas of food gardens have been destroyed and this will cause food shortage in the coming weeks. PNG journalist Scott Waide has this update.
So sad. Any tragic loss of life is a huge loss for the world.
I just thanked Ian over at Ace News for giving me constant updates on the aftershocks, etc.

Oh okay – yes, death toll up to 100 in the news at midday today. They will keep counting because the rescue and government officials have not found everyone yet.
