More than 70 people have been killed by floods in southern Ethiopia, where at least 30 villages have been submerged after a major river burst its banks.
Days of heavy rain have submerged villages, washed away people and livestock in south-eastern Ethiopia, about 1,200 kilometres south of the capital Addis Ababa.
Much of the water has gushed from higher areas in nearby Somalia, surprising residents, many of whom were hit by floodwaters at night.
Emergency medical supplies, food and fuel are being flown in from the capital, but relief workers have been unable to access many of the affected areas.
Before the flooding the area was seriously drought affected, but there are now reports of people clinging to trees to avoid being swept away.
