A landslide at a landfill in Guinea’s capital kills at least 22 people, according to multiple reports. Heavy rain washes over the site and triggers the collapse, which buries nearby homes or shacks, leaving residents and workers trapped under debris.
The outlets describe the incident similarly: refuse and a garbage heap collapse after rainfall, with the landslide occurring early in the morning. Officials in at least one report confirm the death toll, while other coverage frames the event as having killed “at least” 22 people or “over 20.” Details about emergency response and the number of injuries or missing people are not specified in the excerpts, but all accounts emphasize the role of rain in destabilizing the landfill area.
