World Vision says basic relief has been distributed to most accessible parts of Papua New Guinea and the post quake operation is now moving towards a rehabilitation focus as people try and get on with their lives.

Country Director, Heather McLeod, has just returned from the Mt Bosavi area and told Jenny Meyer, although tribal violence is hampering aid to Hela Province, in other areas such as the Southern Highlands, children are returning to school and most people now have basic shelter.
