Addis Ababa city spokeswoman Dagmawit Moges said most of the dead were women and children, and more bodies were expected to be found in the coming hours. It was not immediately clear what caused Saturday night’s landslide at the Koshe Garbage Landfill, which buried several makeshift homes and concrete buildings. Addis Ababa Mayor Diriba Kuma said 37 people had been rescued and were receiving medical treatment. Now I don’t know the fate of all of them.”The resumption of garbage dumping at the site in recent months likely caused the landslide, Assefa said.
