Ethiopia landslide rescuers pull 229 bodies from mud | BBC News


At the scene of Ethiopia’s deadliest landslides men are still digging through mounds of mud to find those missing.

Their efforts are punctuated by the wails of women and children mourning the 229 people whose bodies have so far been found.

The landslides occurred on Sunday, after heavy rains in a remote mountainous area of the Gofa zone.

The search for survivors continued into Monday, only for a second landslide to occur, burying hundreds of people – no-one knows exactly how many – under the mud.
