Many of those killed by a mudslide in Ethiopia died as they tried to rescue survivors of an earlier slide, authorities said.
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia — At least 157 people were killed in mudslides in a remote part of Ethiopia that has been hit with heavy rainfall. Many of the victims were killed as they tried to rescue survivors of an earlier mudslide, local authorities said Tuesday. Young children and pregnant women were among the victims of the mudslides in the Kencho Shacha Gozdi district of southern Ethiopia , said Dagmawi Ayele, a local administrator.
Most of the victims were buried in a mudslide on Monday morning as rescue workers searched the steep terrain for survivors of another mudslide the previous day. At least five people have been pulled alive from the mud, Ayele said. Another official in Gofa, Markos Melese, said many people remained unaccounted for among the group that was covered by mud while trying to rescue others.
