A massive landfill collapse in Conakry, the capital of Guinea, has killed at least 30 people, according to local authorities.
The collapse occurred at a large waste disposal site, burying people and homes under tons of rubbish and debris. Emergency responders have been searching through the wreckage for survivors and recovering bodies.
Residents living near the landfill have raised concerns about the dangers posed by the site, particularly its unstable piles of waste and the lack of adequate safety measures.
Authorities have launched an investigation into the disaster and are assessing the condition of the landfill to prevent further collapses. The tragedy has also renewed calls for improved waste management and safer living conditions for communities located near waste disposal sites.
