More strong aftershocks have rocked Papua New Guinea's Highlands, a week after a magnitude 7.5 earthquake killed dozens of people.

This morning, a magnitude 6 tremor rattled Hela province, and may have caused further death and destruction.

A week after the initial quake, help is still to reach many of the areas cut off by last Monday's quake.
