What You Need To Know:
Earlier this week, a total of 20 bodies were retrieved, 15 injured people rescued and admitted in Buluganya Health Center three.
This was after a terrible mudslide which occurred on Tuesday night.
Unfortunately, 113 people were still missing, but according to the rescue team, efforts are underway to locate the survivers.
The Police together with other sister security agencies with the help of the local community have intensified rescue operations, that is however, being hindered by impassable roads, which are preventing vehicles, including ambulances and wheel loaders, from reaching the scene.
The mudslides have affected five villages in Buluganya Sub County, of Masugu, Namachele, Natola, Namagugu, and Tagalu.
The Uganda Red Cross Society and other emergency responders are working tirelessly to provide aid and support to those affected.
