At least 31 people have been found dead in eastern Uganda after heavy rains caused a landslide.
The disaster took place on Thursday, and also involved a river bursting its banks in the town of Bukalasi in the Bududa district, sending muddy water coursing through a market.
Nathan Tumuhamye, director of an organisation which helps communities recover from natural disasters and conflict, told AFP that “four to five villages”, and possibly a primary school had been affected.
Government efforts to move vulnerable people to neighbouring districts have faced resistance from residents.
