HeadlineJul 24, 2024

In Ethiopia, at least 229 people, including children, have been killed in two landslides triggered by torrential rains in the remote southern region of Gofa. The death toll is expected to rise as the search for survivors continued for a second day. Heavy rains in the region have worsened due to the climate crisis, while other parts of Ethiopia experience severe drought. The United Nations warns millions of Ethiopians face malnutrition due to climate-related events.
