A landslide at a garbage dump in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, resulted in at least 46 deaths and many injuries. Most victims were scavengers looking for items to sell. The landslide, which occurred at night, destroyed the area in minutes. Residents attribute the disaster to the construction of a biogas plant, which increased pressure on the hill. The dump, covering 30 hectares, is the main landfill for the city of four million people.
