The Cameroonian government has confirmed that at least 30 people have died from Sunday’s landside, with 17 others injured.

Cameroon’s Housing Minister Ketcha Courtès who was on site to assess the damage, disclosed the figure to BBC.

Several homes in Mbankolo, an impoverished neighborhood, were reduced to rubble following heavy rains. There are fears that several people are still trapped under the ruins.

Among those rescued, was a three-month-old baby. Authorities have asked inhabitants to vacate the neighbourhood, which is considered a risk zone, for fear of another landslide there.

Residents told the BBC the incident occurred when rains overflowed from a local reservoir.
