At least 30 people were killed and dozens more were injured when a wooden structure collapsed during a religious celebration at a church under construction in northern Ethiopia, according to local officials. The incident happened at St. Mary’s Church in the town of Arerti, located in the North Shewa Zone of the Amhara region. Worshippers had gathered for the annual festival dedicated to the Virgin Mary when scaffolding made of timber gave way, sending beams crashing down on the crowd. Officials said the scale of the disaster is still being assessed because some people remained trapped under the debris. The Virgin Mary feast celebrated at St. Mary’s is a significant annual observance in the region.
