| Comments: | Following heavy rains of 27th November 2024 across Bulambuli District and the neighboring districts, the flooding was triggered by the overflow of River Simu, which inundated nearby households, destroyed crops, and disrupted major roads, including Sironko-Kapchorwa and Muyembe-Nakapiripit. This led to the collapse of bridges and transport disruptions. Later that evening, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, the conditions also led to landslides events in eight villages in Buluganya parish and other areas in Sooti, Sisiyi, and Bulago sub-counties. While the floods have had impact in the riverine communities, the most significant impact and humanitarian need came from the landslides which caused extensive destruction, displacing thousands of families. |
