Uncertainty surrounds Ugandan female footballer, Sandra Nantumbwe, who plays for Turkish side Natayspor Futbol Kulübü Antakya in Hatay province, one of the most devastated by the earthquakes on Monday. 



By Tuesday afternoon, there was no news about Nantumbwe at the Foreign Affairs Ministry in Kampala, which said it was in contact with the Ugandan embassy in Ankara. There was no statement from Nantumbwe's club either.

In the same city, Ghanaian footballer Christian Atsu who plays for the male side of the same club was earlier reported trapped in debris before being rescued alive, according to the Ghana Football Association.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reports that so far, no Ugandan is reported dead, trapped, or injured in any part of Eastern Europe and the Middle East, following the Monday earthquakes.
