MOTHER SITS WITH TWINS SAVED FROM TIDAL WAVES IN PAPUA NEW GUINEA

MEL05D:SISSANO,PAPUA NEW GUINEA,21JUL98 - Ita (C) sits at an aid station in Vanimo July 21 with her one-month-old twins she saved from tidal waves which swept them from their Sissano home into a lagoon last Friday. Ita held her children while clinging to a tree before she and her babies were rescued. Authorities fear more than 3,000 villagers may have been killed in by tidal waves which devastated sections of the northwestern coast of Papua New Guinea late last week. wb/POOL/Sydney Morning Herald/Photo by Palani Mohan REUTERS
