A lot of people may have died and some people are missing in Cameroon’s capital, Yaoundé, after big amounts of dirt and rocks destroyed many houses in Mbankolo area.

It happened after a lot of rain fell in the city on Sunday evening.

The news outlets say that at least 13 people have died from the disaster, and more deaths are expected.

People are still being rescued at the site, but it’s not clear how many people are still missing after the disaster.

Last year in November, a big mass of earth and rocks slid down in the city and caused the death of at least 14 people who were at a funeral.

In Nigeria’s neighboring country, Nigeria, on Sunday, warnings were given about floods in many areas. This happened because water was let out quickly from a dam in River Benue, which starts in Cameroon.
