衣索比亞南部發生嚴重土石流，造成數十人死亡
Dozens dead following major landslides in southern Ethiopia
2024年7月，衣索比亞南部戈法地區發生了一場毀滅性的天災，肯喬-沙查地區接連發生了兩次土石流。
In July 2024, the Gofa Zone of southern Ethiopia faced a devastating natural disaster when back-to-back landslides struck the Kencho-Shacha locality.
7月21日傍晚，首次土石流掩埋了多間民宅。
On the evening of July 21, the first slide buried several homes.
令人悲慟的是，隔天早晨，當社區居民和緊急救援人員試圖進行搜救時，發生了規模更大的第二次土石流，導致至少257人確認死亡。
Tragically, the next morning, a much larger landslide occurred while community members and emergency workers were attempting a rescue, leading to at least 257 confirmed deaths.
氣候變遷導致極端且難以預測的天氣型態，使衣索比亞的高原地區更容易受到此類事件影響。
Climate change, which has caused increasingly unpredictable and extreme weather patterns, has made Ethiopia's highlands more vulnerable to such events.
儘管聯合國與紅十字會提供的國際人道援助提供了即時支援，但這場悲劇凸顯了該地區正面臨對抗氣候相關風險的持續鬥爭。
While humanitarian aid from the UN and the Red Cross provided immediate support, the tragedy highlights the ongoing struggle against climate-related risks in the region.
值得注意的是，此事件與後續於2026年在鄰近的加莫地區報導的其他獨立洪水事件不同。
It is important to note this event is distinct from later, separate flooding incidents reported in the nearby Gamo Zone in 2026.
