One person is feared dead in Kasese, western Uganda after river Nyamwamba burst its banks again today morning.
According to residents, four porters who were working on a trekking community bridge in Bulyambuli were swept away by the flooding waters. While three of the workers were safely rescued, one person, Linus Masereka, 18, is still missing.
As a result of Uganda Redcross Society (URCS) issuing early warning messages for people to relocate to safer places following the river overflow, 41 households from around rivers Nyamwamba and Mubuku have safely relocated to safer areas.
By this evening, 22 households from R.Nyamwamba had moved to Basecamp primary school in Central Division. Another 19 households from river Mubuku have moved to Ibanda Kyanya primary school in Maliba sub-county.
