Ethiopia Landslide
Addis Ababa: Heavy rains have caused massive destruction in Ethiopia. At least 146 people have died in a landslide caused by rain in a remote area. A local official has given information about this. Local administrator Dagmavi Ayele said that children and pregnant women are among those killed in the mudslide in Kencho Shacha Gojadi district of southern Ethiopia. Most of the people were buried in the landslide that occurred on Monday morning, when rescue workers were searching for victims after another landslide a day earlier.
The number of dead may increase
Ayele said five people were pulled out alive from the rubble. “There are many children who have lost their entire families, including their mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters, and are clinging to the bodies,” he said. The death toll is expected to rise as rescue operations continue. Landslides are common in Ethiopia during the rainy season, which begins in July. The rainy season is expected to continue until mid-September. (AP)
