# A mound of waste collapsed at a landfill in Conakry, Guinea, killing 30 people, including five children, and injuring at least 22. Rescue teams are continuing to search for survivors among the debris. According to reports, the incident occurred less than a week after the government announced plans to close the site and relocate the waste because of the threat it posed, especially during the ongoing rainy season, which causes landslides and fatal flash floods each year. Officials say the death toll will rise further.
