At least, 15 people in Kasese, western Uganda, have perished after being hit by landslides triggered by heavy rain.
The deceased are mostly women and children, according to reports.
Quite a significant amount of people are feared missing.
A spokesperson for the Uganda Red Cross says six people were injured in the landslides in Rukoki following torrential rains.
Some properties including houses were also washed away by flood waters that tore through the area located on the foothills of the Rwenzori mountains.
The region is prone to landslides and saw three people killed last week in Bundibugyo district.
The rainy reason, which normally starts in August, has this year resulted in devastation in parts of the country.
Early last month, at least 24 people died after rivers in eastern Uganda burst their banks.
Several parts of East Africa have experienced severe weather this year, from long droughts to destructive rains and flooding.
