An aid agency helped people affected by the major earthquakes in Papua New Guinea says the recovery is likely to take a year.

The lives of more than a quarter of a million people have been affected while the death toll is at 125 following a 7.5 magnitude quake in the Highlands on February 26th.

Care PNG's Anna Bryan spoke with Don Wiseman about the quake and its aftermath and began by saying many people outside of PNG do not seem to realise how devastating it has been.
