PNG Government urged to reverse food import ban from Australia, NZ

Maria Linibi's comments come after members of her organisation have been calling her for assistance and information on how to cope with the drought and frosts.

A national strategy meeting has been held in Port Moresby today to nut out a plan for responding to the disaster, brought on by the powerful El Nino event.

It is estimated that almost one million people have been affected, and the assessment so far is that immediate aid will be required for areas devastated by frost.
