The death toll from a landslide that buried three villages in eastern Uganda stood at 18 on Tuesday, with rescue officials fearing the figure would rise.
Another 92 were injured and countless more were unaccounted for, the Red Cross said.
Heavy rains sent rocks and mud crashing down on the villages in the mountainous district of Bududa on Monday, about 275 kilometers (170 miles) northeast of the capital Kampala.
"Last night district authorities requested all people in high risk places to move to a school that we are using as a primary camp," Catherine Ntabadde of the Uganda Red Cross Society said Tuesday.
