At least 30 people have died and more than 200 others been injured after a scaffolding collapsed at a church in Ethiopia.
Thousands of worshippers were gathered at the Arerti Mariam church early in the morning when the structure fell, local police inspector Ahmed Gebeyehu told BBC Amharic.
The crowd had visited the church, in the central Minjar Sheknora area about 70 km (45 miles) from the capital Addis Ababa, as part of the annual Orthodox Christian celebration of St Mary.
Mr Ahmed said the death toll might increase, adding that those confirmed deceased were aged between 25 and 80.
