Grief, pain, and sorrow engulfed Katombo village in Nyakach as a mass burial service was held for 22 of the 26 victims of a fatal road accident involving a school bus transporting mourners.

As the sun set over Katombo and Nyakach, sorrow lingered. The cries of orphaned children, the silence of homes left without parents, and the emptiness in the hearts of survivors painted a picture of devastation too deep for words.
