A total of 12 people are currently receiving medical care in hospitals for injuries from the gruesome incident.

The incident occurred when a section of the waste containment structure gave way following heavy rainfall, triggering a massive slide of compacted garbage and debris that buried workers and equipment at the facility, which serves as a key waste management site for surrounding communities.

The collapse happened while the site was operational, with personnel performing routine sorting and maintenance tasks.
