On the night of 6 and 7 September 2022,^[1] 15 people were killed when heavy rain caused multiple landslides in the Kasese District of Uganda.^[2]

Heavy rainfall was to blame for the landslide.^[3] The hilly area is remote and particularly vulnerable to landslides.^[4]

The Uganda Red Cross Society have confirmed that the majority of deaths were mothers and children.^[5] At least 18 people were declared missing^[6] and at least 7 injured and taken to hospital.^[7]

Several homes were destroyed and multiple people were buried alive,^[8] with rescue efforts focusing on those still trapped underneath.^[9]

After the tragedy, plans were underway that same afternoon to transfer the bodies to Kasika primary school for postmortems and burial arrangements.^[10]

The event was one of a series of recent floods in Western Uganda^[11] and one of many in Africa in 2022.
