The people of Ethiopia are in fear of their lives as land slides caused by heavy rain fall in the mountainous region of Ethiopia claim more lives day by day. The number of lives lost is totaling 146. The local officials said that the numbers could rise. If proper response teams were on the ground at the site of the incident, innocent lives would not be lost. The landslide was caused by the washing away of lost mountain soil, which tumbled onto the civilians in the valleys below. This site has caused panic both online and among families in fear that their loved ones were being devoured by the red soil. Locals are still working to uncover the bodies of the victims, as none is likely to have survived.
The southern regions of Ethiopia have suffered massive flooding coupled with this landslide, and the people of Ethiopia have been displaced from their homes. We are urging the government of Ethiopia to evacuate citizens to relief shelters and have an immediate response team to investigate these natural disasters before more lives are lost.
