Another earthquake hits  Ethiopian region

The area has been shaken by a multitude of minor quakes since the Dofen volcano began showing signs of imminent eruption at the start of the year.
A week ago, Ethiopia’s government said it is evacuating approximately 80,000 people following a series of small-scale earthquakes in the Afar, Oromia and Amhara regions.At least 10 earthquakes were reported in Ethiopia in over a week, and there are signs of possible volcanic activity.

“The government is closely monitoring the events with experts in the field. In addition, it has identified the epicenter of the earthquake and deployed emergency workers from various fields in 12 kebeles [districts] to assess the extent of the damage,” the statement from Ethiopia’s government said.

“It is making great efforts to identify the most vulnerable among the 80,000 citizens living in those kebeles and to evacuate them from the area. It is also monitoring the possible impact of the earthquake on social service institutions, economic institutions, and infrastructure.”
