At least 30 people were feared dead and several injured after landslides hits Kimono Village in Buluganya Sub-county, in eastern Uganda on Thursday.
Authorities are warning the toll could rise as a lot of people have been missing and other seriously injured.
“We lost about 30 people,” Bulambuli district commissioner Faheera Mpalanyi told AFP after landslides struck Masugu village, adding that six bodies, including that of a baby, had been recovered so far.
“Given the devastation and the size of the area affected and from what the affected families are telling us, several people are missing and probably buried in the debris,” she said.
The Ugandan prime minister’s office said as many as 20 homes were feared to have been swept away.
