According to initial reports, 11 people lost their lives in a landslide that occurred during a funeral in Yaounde, the capital of Cameroon.
People around tried to rescue the casualties under the ground with their hands and shovels.
“We are moving the bodies to the morgue of the central hospital, while the search for other people or bodies continues,” Cameroon’s Central Region Governor Naseri Paul Bea said.
Thousands of people have been displaced by flooding in Yaounde this year.
