A general scene of destruction caused by a landslide in the district of Mbankolo, northwest of Yaounde, on October 9, 2023. At least 27 people have been killed after heavy rains caused a section of a hillside covered in precariously built houses to collapse in Cameroon's capital Yaounde. Rescuers were still searching for victims after the landslide that happened on the evening of October 8, 2023. Landslides are frequent during the rainy season in Yaounde, a city of nearly three million people, where often precarious dwellings are built on its many hills. (Photo by Romuald Nkonlak/AFP Photo)
