The couple fled to the mountain with their children when the tsunami struck, destroying their homes and sweeping away all their belongings.
All they have are the clothes they wore.
The Koria family, who reside near the beach front in an area known as Apia Park, had a close call with death and want nothing more than to return to PNG.
They are without basic necessities and have made a special request and plea to the Department of Foreign Affairs and the PNG Government as well as kind Papua New Guineans to assist them where possible with their immediate needs and most importantly their evacuation back to PNG.
