More than 100 people are feared dead after a massive landslide struck a remote village in Papua New Guinea.

The landslide is believed to have hit Kaokalam, a village in the Enga Province around 600 kilometres north-west of Port Moresby, the ABC has reported.

Residents said that the death toll may be more than 100, but authorities have not confirmed any figures yet.

Villagers said the number of people killed could be much higher.

Footage shared by residents on Facebook showed widespread damage to a village, with vehicles tipped on their side.

Some footage showed bodies being pulled from the scene – with huge rocks, plants and trees hampering any rescue efforts.

The Papua New Guinea government and police did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The landslide is believed to have struck the area around 3am today.

It is not yet clear if emergency services have been able to reach the village.

Elizabeth Laruma, who runs a women's business association in Porgera, a town in the same province near the Porgera Gold Mine, said village houses were flattened when the side of a mountain gave way.

The landslide blocked the road between Porgera and the village, she said, raising concerns about the town's own supply of fuel and goods.

With 10 million people, Papua New Guinea is the most populous South Pacific nation after Australia.
