At least 25 folks have been killed when a church under construction collapsed on Wednesday in Ethiopia’s Amhara area, in response to native authorities.
The incident occurred early on Wednesday at Menjar Shenkora Arerti Mariam Church in Amhara, northern Ethiopia, as worshippers gathered for an annual occasion celebrating St. Mary.
Seyoum Altaye, a clinician with a native hospital, mentioned the victims embody some kids and aged folks. “So far we have confirmed 25 dead and over a hundred injured,” he mentioned.
He mentioned the hospital is searching for help from the Red Cross to take care of the injured.
Teshale Tilahun, the native administrator, warned that the dying toll might doubtlessly rise. “It is a tragic loss for the community,” he mentioned.
