  "summary": "A landslide at a landfill in Guinea's capital, Conakry, has killed 30 people, according to the government. The disaster occurred in the Dar-es-Salam area, where a mound of rubbish collapsed onto nearby homes at around 02:00 local time, following heavy rain overnight.\n\nThe government has deployed \"significant\" resources and personnel, including the military, to search for survivors. At least 22 people were injured, including six seriously. One woman reported that her five children had died in the disaster.\n\nRescuers used excavators to search through the scattered rubbish at the site. Neighbourhood leader Lancine Sylla told the AFP news agency that 18 bodies had been pulled out and taken to the morgue. This is not the first landslide at the site, which killed 10 people in 2017.",
