Zambia presses China for more compensation over toxic mine spill

Zambia plans to seek further compensation from a Chinese-owned copper mine for a toxic spill in February affecting a major river. The spill, caused by a dam collapse, released acidic mine waste containing harmful metals. Though the company pledged initial compensation, Zambia insists on additional measures to address long-term health risks and environmental damage. Concerns continue over public health impacts and the need for thorough assessments and compensation.
