The death toll following a landslide at a dump in Uganda’s capital Kampala rose on Sunday. At least 18 people have been confirmed dead, including at least two children, when fill piles at the Kiteezi tip collapsed.
Local media reports that many people and their homes have been affected by the debris slide from the tip that occurred on Saturday.

Among them was Kampala Mayor Erias Lukwago, who issued a warning in January.
President Yoweri Museveni has ordered military special forces to assist in the rescue effort.
