Massive garbage heap collapses onto homes, killing at least 30 as rescuers search for survivors

On August 23, 2026, a massive landslide occurred at the Dar Es Salam landfill in Conakry, Guinea, resulting in at least 30 deaths and six serious injuries. The collapse was triggered by heavy rainfall, which destabilized the mountainous open-air waste site, burying nearby homes and structures. Authorities had previously issued warnings about the landfill's unsafe conditions and planned to close it, but many residents remained in the area despite evacuation notices. Rescuers used excavators to search for survivors amid the debris. This incident echoes a similar tragedy in 2017, when heavy rains caused a mudslide at the same site, killing at least eight people.
