30 maut timbunan sampah timbus rumah
Timbunan sampah menimbus beberapa rumah di pinggir Conakry, Guinea, dengan operasi mencari dan menyelamat masih diteruskan.
At least 30 people were killed and 22 others injured, including six critically, in a landslide at a municipal garbage dump in Conakry, Guinea, according to reports from German news agency dpa on Sunday morning. Heavy rain at the start of the day caused the pile of trash to collapse and engulf several homes near the outskirts of Conakry.
The government confirmed that at least 22 people were injured, with six in critical condition. Rescue operations are ongoing. Prime Minister Amadou Oury Bah visited the site and offered condolences to the affected families. According to local media reports, the government had been planning to strengthen safety measures and clean up the garbage dump in the Dar-es-salam area, one of the poorest regions of Conakry.
A similar landslide occurred in the same area in 2017, claiming nine lives. As one of the largest exporters of bauxite, a raw material essential for aluminum production, Guinea, which has a population of about 15 million, has struggled with limited access to healthcare, education, electricity, and clean drinking water for many of its citizens.
