A devastating landslide at a rubbish dump in Uganda’s capital, Kampala, has killed at least 21 people, with many more feared trapped under the rubble.

The disaster occurred at the Ntinda rubbish dump, a major waste disposal site in the city, on Wednesday evening. Local residents reported hearing a loud rumbling sound before the dump collapsed, burying people and buildings under a massive pile of trash.
