12 pupils injured after classroom collapse in Hoima

“The rain was too much and the children decided to remain in their classrooms. However, a few hours later the classrooms collapsed and the children sustained injuries. We rushed them to a nearby health facility for medication,” Nzorobi Parish councillor Nathan Ahebwa said.
