There are calls for support for the survivors of deadly violence in Papua New Guinea.

At least 26 people are dead after horrific attacks on villages in Papua New Guinea's East Sepik Province earlier this week.

A group of about 30 people targetted the villages of Tamara, Tambari and Agrumara near the town of Angoram. 

The suspects are still at large, and some survivors have sought shelter in Angoram.

RNZ Pacific's Grace Fiavaai has the story.
