Search and rescue operations are continuing in Guinea after a massive pile of rubbish collapsed at a landfill in the capital, Conakry, killing 31 people and injuring 22 others. The disaster occurred on Sunday at the Dar Es Salam waste site after heavy overnight rainfall triggered a landslide.

Authorities and emergency teams remain on the scene as they search through the enormous volumes of waste for possible survivors and work to recover those still missing. The tragedy has once again raised concerns about waste management, public safety and the vulnerability of communities living near landfill sites.

Guinea-based Journalist Gassimu Bah says rescue teams continue to comb through the debris as recovery efforts proceed.
