A landslide swept debris through Bukalasi in eastern Uganda, destroying homes and burying livestock, yesterday afternoon. The Red Cross said more victims are likely to be discovered when rescue reams access all the affected areas in the foothills of Mountain Elgon. People were killed by boulders and chunks of mud rolling down hills following a sustained period of heavy rains in the region. Large areas of vegetation has been stripped away from mountainsides making landslides more common in the area.
