As earthquakes continue to rattle the region, triggering volcanic activity on a once-dormant volcano, 80,000 people in Ethiopia have been evacuated.

A 5.5 magnitude earthquake hits Ethiopia causing alarm amid ongoing minor tremors and a volcanic eruption. Authorities are working to relocate residents at risk. Concerns rise over a major disaster in the Awash Fentale region near Addis Ababa.

Evacuations were underway in Ethiopia Saturday after a series of earthquakes, the strongest of which a 5.8 magnitude jolt, rocked the remote north of the Horn of Africa nation.
