At least 17 people – mostly children – died after heavy rains in eastern Uganda caused by flooding, police said on Tuesday.
The rains hit the districts of Kamuli and Buyende during the night, with some people drowning in the flood waters and others hit by collapsing walls, the region’s police spokesperson Michael Kasadha said.
More than 50 injured people have been taken to hospital and police say they expect to retrieve more bodies. Houses were destroyed in at least three villages, and in some cases, only body parts of the victims have been recovered from the mud, she said.
