BEIJING, Aug. 11 (Xinhua) — A garbage dump in the Ugandan capital, Kampala, collapsed recently, leading to the deaths of over a dozen people, including children, according to the French news agency. The Ugandan police said that the disaster is expected to affect more than 1,000 people, with search and rescue operations ongoing.
Patrick Onyango, the police spokesman for Kampala, noted that the collapse was caused by heavy rainfall that damaged the structural integrity of the garbage pile. Initial estimates suggest that over 1,000 people have been affected. To ensure the safety of the affected population, authorities have begun to relocate the victims to safer areas for temporary shelter.
In 2017, a similar tragedy occurred in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, where a garbage dump collapse resulted in 115 deaths. These incidents remind the world of the need to pay attention to the safety issues of waste management facilities.
Uganda has vowed to learn from the incident and strengthen the management and maintenance of its garbage dumps to prevent such tragedies from happening again. The international community also calls for increased investment in waste management infrastructure in developing countries, enhancing their resilience to natural disasters and ensuring the safety of the people’s lives and property.
The Ugandan government and relevant departments are currently working hard to respond to the disaster and provide necessary assistance to the affected population. The international community is also monitoring the situation and preparing to offer necessary support and help.
