At least 35 people died when a massive garbage landslide struck a residential area, exposing the dangers of living near the Kiteezi landfill in Uganda.
Kampala Mayor Erias Lukwago warned about overflowing waste at Kiteezi landfill, calling the landslide a 'national disaster' and emphasizing the need for immediate government action.
Residents complained for years about the Kiteezi landfill's hazards, but their concerns were disregarded by authorities. They now demand accountability and swift government relief.
Following the landslide, President Yoweri Museveni ordered financial compensation for victims' families, questioning why people were allowed to reside near such a dangerous site.
