Landslide at Garbage Dump in Uganda's Capital Kampala
The death toll from a landslide at a garbage dump in Uganda's capital Kampala has risen to 13, with at least 14 people rescued. The landfill site, known as Kiteezi, has been Kampala's sole garbage dump for decades and residents have complained of hazardous waste polluting the environment. Similar tragedies have occurred in Ethiopia and Mozambique due to poorly managed garbage dumps.
