A series of devastating landslides has struck the mountainous border region between Kenya and Uganda, claiming the lives of over 40 people and leaving many more missing. The tragedy has left communities in shock, with survivors recounting harrowing experiences of loss and destruction. Felix Kemboi, a 30-year-old from Kenya, lost six relatives, including his grandmother, aunt, uncle, two sisters, and a cousin, who were all residing in Kaptul village. The emotional toll on survivors like Felix is immense, as they struggle to articulate their grief. On both sides of the border, search and rescue operations are underway, though the risk of further landslides remains high due to ongoing heavy rainfall. Kenyan Interior Minister Kipchumba Murkomen has issued warnings about the heightened risk in the Kerio Valley region and urged residents to remain vigilant. In Uganda, the Red Cross Society reports at least 18 fatalities, with 20 people still unaccounted for in the districts of Kapchorwa, Bukwo, and Kween. Survivors like Helda Narunga Masai from Kween village have shared terrifying accounts of the disaster, which destroyed her home and claimed the lives of her niece and brother. The Ugandan government has announced compensation for bereaved families and survivors, while Kenya has yet to make a similar declaration. The landslides have also disrupted access to some areas, complicating rescue efforts. This disaster echoes the 2010 Bududa landslide in Uganda, which killed approximately 300 people, highlighting the recurring nature of such tragedies in the region.
