The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has confirmed that efforts are underway to evacuate more than 60,000 people from earthquake-prone regions in Ethiopia.

These evacuations aim to relocate residents to safer areas, as ongoing seismic activity continues to threaten their safety.

The evacuation process is fraught with risks, as tremors persist in mountainous regions prone to rockfalls.

Compounding the challenges, the evacuations are taking place near areas emitting ash and around a significant dam, adding further complexities to the operation.
