The three-hour blaze began in Nawanatau village in Komeret parish, Nadunget sub-county in Moroto district. It later spread to the neighbouring villages.
Elderly women wailed as dark smoke engulfed the remote villages, sending signals of calamity to other settlements.
Daughters struggled with their mothers who preferred suicide to witnessing their property being reduced to ash.
The men dismantled huts and fortified fences to stop the fire but all their energy was in vain.
Paulo Oitakol said the fire started when a girl was preparing porridge in their family hut at 2:00pm.
“A whirlwind drove the fire from the fireplace onto the hut,” he explained.
The whereabouts of the girl is unknown. The Police saved her mother from being lynched by residents.
