Devastating mudslides in the Kencho Shacha Gozdi district of southern Ethiopia have left a trail of destruction, claiming the lives of at least 55 individuals. The region, battered by heavy rainfall, witnessed the heartbreaking loss of young children and pregnant women among the victims.
Local administrator Dagmawi Ayele revealed that the majority of the casualties were a result of a mudslide that occurred on Monday morning. Rescue efforts were further complicated by the treacherous terrain, with another mudslide occurring the day before.
