A MASSIVE landslide in Uganda has caused at least 80 deaths with another 350 people still missing. Around 100 children are among the dead and missing. The landslide, triggered by heavy rain, swept down the slopes of Mt Eglon and buried three villages.
Upon hearing news of the disaster, The Salvation Army's Uganda Command sent three officers to Bududa District – about 250 kilometres from Kampala, the capital – to assess the situation and begin to plan and implement an immediate response. The Salvation Army has two corps (churches) in the district.
Concerns remain for the local population. An estimated 2,000 people have been displaced from their homes, many properties have been destroyed and entire fields of crops are ruined.
