Massive garbage slide kills 30 homes

A massive landslide occurred at the Dar Es Salam landfill in Conakry, Guinea, on August 23, 2026, after heavy overnight rains caused the open-air waste dump to collapse. At least 30 people were killed, with six others seriously injured, as the garbage buried nearby shacks and caused a building to cave in. Officials had announced the landfill's closure due to hazardous conditions and had issued eviction notices to residents, though many remained nearby at the time of the disaster. Rescue operations are underway to find survivors.
