Ethiopia landslide kills 14 at monastery ritual; search continues

A landslide triggered by heavy rainfall killed 14 people and injured seven others at a monastery in Ethiopia's Amhara region Monday, with an unknown number still missing. The collapse struck Tsadqane Debre Mitmaq St. Mary Monastery during a holy water cleansing ritual, where hundreds had gathered. Rescue teams searched debris, while officials noted such disasters are increasingly common in Ethiopia due to climate change and weak rural infrastructure.
