Guinea Landfill Collapse Kills 31 People

Guinea’s government says a major landfill collapse has killed 31 people in the capital. Officials report that a large mound of rubbish gave way and buried several nearby homes. The disaster has trapped residents under the waste, prompting an urgent rescue operation. Teams are searching the site, removing debris and checking for survivors. While the full impact is still being assessed, the government’s death toll stands at 31 at this stage. The incident highlights the risks faced by communities living close to poorly controlled waste sites, especially when large volumes of refuse are stored in unstable conditions. Authorities are expected to investigate the causes of the collapse, including whether safety rules were followed and how the landfill was managed. In the meantime, emergency workers are focusing on recovery efforts and helping affected families.
