BUDUDA, Uganda -?Landslides swamped three villages in Uganda, killing at least 86 people and leaving hundreds missing after the rivers of mud swept through a church and hospital, officials said Wednesday.

Uganda's minister of state for disaster preparedness said that 50 students who had taken refuge in a hospital were among the dead or missing.

"All of a sudden the church collapsed. Mud covered the whole place. Five people seated next to me died. I only survived because my head was above the mud," James Kasawi, 20, told The Associated Press from a hospital in Bududa, where he was recovering from a broken leg and arm.

Kevin Nabutwa, a Uganda Red Cross official, said 86 bodies had been recovered as of early Wednesday.

Police and army forces were working to recover more bodies in the remote villages, which officials said were a three-hour walk from a main highway.

"The government is doing all it can to rescue those still alive," said Musa Ecweru, the disaster preparedness minister. "President (Yoweri) Museveni has instructed the army to join the organizations and volunteers who carrying out rescue work."

Heavy rains began Monday evening, triggering landslides in the Bududa region, 170 miles (275 kilometers) east of Kampala. The region has long suffered from landslides but rarely has the death toll been so high.

Another survivor, Mohamed Mudindi, described a scene of panic.

"I was up in the mountain standing then I heard a loud bang then we saw smoke, then the landslide," he said. "So we started running away from the scene, we then went to the rescue place leaving many people and animals behind. So when we went back most of our people were gone."

Unusually heavy rains also battered eastern Uganda in 2007 and forced 2,000 people from their homes and affected 50,000 people in what humanitarian officials said were the worst rains in 35 years. Landslides were reported in some areas. Nearly 4,000 households said their crops were damaged and flood waters contaminated springs, boreholes and wells for thousands of Ugandans. Many people reported being too afraid to use latrines in case they collapsed.

The conditions prompted aid agencies to raise alarms about the heightened risk of malaria, diarrhea, skin diseases, chest infections and intestinal diseases.
