A family in Buhweju District is mourning the loss of two parents who died in a tragic stone collapse accident that left their six children miraculously alive. According to local authorities, the fatal incident occurred when a large stone and soil structure suddenly gave way, crashing onto the family’s house. The unexpected collapse buried the parents inside the home, leading to their immediate deaths. Witnesses say neighbors rushed to the scene in an attempt to rescue the victims before emergency responders arrived. Rescue teams later confirmed that the couple had succumbed to the heavy debris.

inside or near the house at the time of the collapse managed to survive. They were rescued and taken for medical evaluation, with reports indicating they sustained minor injuries.

Community leaders have expressed deep sorrow over the loss of the parents and have pledged support to the surviving children. Local residents have also come together to offer assistance to the affected family during this difficult time.
