In Ethiopia, at least 50 people have died and more than 125 remain missing after landslides hit three of the country’s Southern Districts. A local official says that most of the victims were found buried in the mud after days of heavy rains. Rescue efforts are continuing, and residents have been advised to move to higher ground as the rain continues.

Mudslides and floods are common in Ethiopia during the rainy season. In 2024, heavy rains killed nearly 230 people.
