At least 15 people died in western Uganda after their homes were buried in a landslide triggered by torrential rains, the Red Cross has said.
Most of those killed were women and children, Uganda Red Cross spokeswoman Irene Nakasiita said in a statement on Monday.
At the time of the statement, emergency workers were shovelling through mud in search of survivors.
Nakasiita said at least six people had been rescued and transferred to a nearby hospital, as she posted images of rescuers digging for others.
