Rescuers continue to dig through the rubble in the capital, Kampala, days after disaster struck at the Kiteezi landfill on Friday.

At least four children are among the dead, police said.

The Kiteezi landfill is a vast rubbish dumpsite in an impoverished hillside area that receives hundreds of waste disposal trucks a day – despite being declared “full” years ago.

It has been described as a sort of no-man’s land, frequented by women and children who scavenge plastic waste they aim to sell.

The collapse is believed to have been triggered by heavy rainfall but precise details of what happened are unclear.

Kampala’s city authority said there was a “structural failure in waste mass”.

Irene Nakasiita, a spokesperson for the Uganda Red Cross, said there was no hope of rescuing more people alive.

It was not clear how many people were unaccounted for.
