Makeshift scaffolding set up at a church in Ethiopia collapsed Wednesday, killing at least 22 people and injuring 55, state media said, News.Az reports citing BSS News. "Many pilgrims were killed or sustained physical injuries," local official Atnafu Abate told the Ethiopian Broadcasting Corporation (EBC), putting the toll at 22 dead and 55 wounded. Images shared on the ECB's official Facebook page showed a mess of collapsed wooden poles, with crowds gathering amid the dense debris. Other pictures appeared to show the outside of the church, where scaffolding had been precariously constructed. Health and safety regulations are virtually non-existent in Ethiopia, Africa's second most populous nation, and construction accidents are common.
