(CNN) -- A landslide at a huge landfill killed at least 50 people and injured dozens more outside the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa, Communications Minister Negeri Lencho said. Officials were still investigating how the landslide at the sprawling Koshe landfill occurred Saturday night, Lencho said. Security personnel are still searching for people who have been reported missing in the landslide, Lencho said, and authorities are working to find housing for the families affected. Some of the people who were trapped in the landslide tried to call authorities to get help from inside the debris, the group said. A similar landslide occurred in December 2015 at a waste dump in Shenzhen, China, killing 58.
