Boys as young as ten are reported to be involved in tribal fighting in Papua New Guinea's Enga Province, in which at least 50 people have been killed.

Police say the massacre occurred when one tribe, on its way to attack another tribe, was ambushed.

A man housing survivors says that while women and children flee, men and even young boys have remained behind to fight.

Lydia Lewis has the story.
