Due to a landslide disaster that killed 50 people in Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa, on Saturday, Rescue workers are still searching for survivors.

According to Ceoafrica, a massive rescue operation is on-going at a rubbish dump with authorities fearing the death toll could rise even further.

Rescuers are using bulldozers and their bare hands to move tonnes of debris as the search for survivors and dead bodies continues.

It was gathered that many families are seeking information about missing relatives, as hopes fade of finding anyone alive.

Many of them were huddled in small groups talking in low tones; others were crying and sobbing loudly.

The country’s communication minister Dr Negeri Lencho has said all survivors will be resettled elsewhere. So far, about 200 families have been relocated.

Dozens of people, who were injured during the accident, have been treated and discharged from hospital.

It is still not yet clear what caused the landslide but the Ethiopian Prime Minister, Hailemariam Desalegn, has offered his condolences to the families assuring them of a full investigation of the matter once rescue operations are completed.
