The death toll from the landslide at a massive garbage dump in Ethiopia's capital has climbed to more than 60 people. Hundreds of people live on the 50-year-old Koshe dumpsite, the city's main landfill, in mud-and-stick shacks. Hospital workers say at least 50 people have received treatment. It called on the government to account for the missing and provide survivors of the landslide with safe housing and working conditions. Ethiopia is one of Africa's fastest-growing economies; however, millions of people there still live below the poverty line.
