Английская Википедия:2022 Kasese District landslides
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox event
On the night of 6 and 7 September 2022,[1] 15 people were killed when heavy rain caused multiple landslides in the Kasese District of Uganda.[2]
Heavy rainfall was to blame for the landslide.[3] The hilly area is remote and particularly vulnerable to landslides.[4]
The Uganda Red Cross Society have confirmed that the majority of deaths were mothers and children.[5] At least 18 people were declared missing[6] and at least 7 injured and taken to hospital.[7]
Several homes were destroyed and multiple people were buried alive,[8] with rescue efforts focusing on those still trapped underneath.[9]
After the tragedy, plans were underway that same afternoon to transfer the bodies to Kasika primary school for postmortems and burial arrangements.[10]
The event was one of a series of recent floods in Western Uganda[11] and one of many in Africa in 2022.
