Eneo la Gofa lipo umbali wa kilomita 450 kutoka mji mkuu Addis Ababa, mwendo wa masaa 10 kwa kutumia gari. Jimbo hilo la kusini mwa Ethiopia limeathiriwa na mvua za muda mfupi za msimu kati ya mwezi Aprili na mapema mwezi Mei ambazo zimesababisha mafuriko na watu wengi kuhama makazi yao, kulingana na shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kutoa misaada ya dharura ya kibinadamu (OCHA). - AFP #voa #voaswahili #ethiopia #janga #maporomoko #matope #vifo #uokoaji
