At least 15 people died in western Uganda after their homes were buried in a landslide triggered by torrential rains, the Red Cross said on Wednesday, as emergency workers shovelled through mud in search of survivors.
Most of those killed were women and children, Uganda Red Cross spokeswoman Irene Nakasita said in a statement.
She said at least six people had been rescued and transferred to a nearby hospital, as she posted images of rescuers digging for others.
