The death toll from a devastating landslide in eastern Uganda has risen to 28, with the bodies of two three-year-old boys among those recovered, police confirmed
Dozens of people are still missing after the landslide buried several villages on the slopes of Mount Elgon, an extinct volcano on the border with Kenya, about 300 km east of Kampala.
Initially, 17 deaths were reported following the disaster on Wednesday, but since then, more bodies have been retrieved. Over 100 people had been feared missing in the aftermath. The Uganda Red Cross has linked the severe weather, including heavy rainfall since October, to climate change, which has led to widespread flooding and landslides across the country.
The area where the landslide occurred has a history of deadly disasters, including a similar event in 2010 that claimed at least 80 lives. Despite repeated efforts by authorities to relocate residents from landslide-prone regions, many remain in place due to poverty and lack of resources.
