Political and tribal violence in Papua New Guinea's Highlands is compounding the struggles in a region devastated by a major earthquake nearly four months ago.
The two provinces worst hit by February's 7.5 magnitude quake - Hela and Southern Highlands - have been thrown into further disorder in the past week with violent unrest.
In Hela, frustrated landowners have atacked the major LNG gas project in their province, wihle in Southern Highlands, disputes related to last year's election have reignited in shocking fashion.
