Kampala (AFP) Aug 16, 2024
Four more bodies have been recovered from the site of a massive garbage landslide in the Ugandan capital Kampala, bringing the death toll to 34, police said Friday. The collapse at the landfill in the northern district of Kiteezi at the weekend buried people, homes and livestock in mountains of fetid waste. An MP for the area has warned that the number of those missing could still rise.
