  "account": "In Uganda, police have rescued approximately 22 individuals following the collapse of a building under construction at the Holy City Church in Entebbe. The incident occurred in Bwerenga, Katabi Town Council, Wakiso District. A police spokesperson revealed that rescue teams are working diligently to ensure that no one else remains trapped beneath the rubble. The church, belonging to Pastor Ronnie Makabai of the Brother Ronnies Ministries, was reportedly an extension of the main church building and had reached the fourth floor. Preliminary investigations indicate that the cause of the collapse is yet to be determined. Authorities are still reviewing the extent of injuries sustained and whether additional victims are trapped beneath the debris. Rescue operations remain ongoing as emergency teams continue the search at the site.",
