At least 46 people were killed early on Monday when a bus they were travelling in collided with a truck transporting relief food near the Uganda-Rwanda border, officials said.

"A passenger bus coming from Burundi collided with a trailer (truck) carrying maize to Burundi," Uganda's police spokesman Assuman Mugenyi told Reuters. "We have recovered 46 bodies while 33 passengers who were critically injured are in Kabale hospital."
