The region has experienced heavy rains since October, leading to widespread flooding and landslides. The Uganda Red Cross has linked the extreme weather to climate change. The Mount Elgon area has a history of deadly landslides, including one in 2010 that killed at least 80 people.
The bodies of two three-year-old boys were among those recovered from the mud in eastern
Uganda, bringing the death toll from last week’s landslide to
28, media reported, citing police.
The landslide, which occurred on Wednesday on the slopes of Mount Elgon, buried several villages. Over
100 people had initially been reported
missing, with
17 confirmed dead soon after the disaster. Additional bodies have since been retrieved, though dozens remain unaccounted for.
Efforts to relocate residents from disaster-prone areas have seen limited success due to poverty and lack of resources.
