ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia — A mountain of trash gave way at a massive garbage dump on the outskirts of Ethiopia’s capital, killing at least 46 people and leaving several dozen missing, residents said, as officials vowed to relocate those who called the landfill home.

Addis Ababa city spokeswoman Dagmawit Moges said most of the dead were women and children, and more bodies were expected to be found.

It was not immediately clear what caused Saturday night’s collapse at the Koshe Garbage Landfill, which buried several makeshift homes and concrete buildings. The landfill has been a dumping ground for the capital’s garbage for more than 50 years.

About 150 people were there when the landslide occurred, said resident Assefa Teklemahimanot. Addis Ababa Mayor Diriba Kuma said 37 people had been rescued and were receiving medical treatment.

Many people at the landfill had been scavenging to make a living, but others live there because renting homes, largely built of mud and sticks, is relatively inexpensive.

The resumption of garbage dumping at the site in recent months likely caused the landslide, Assefa said. The dumping had stopped in recent years, but it resumed after farmers in a nearby restive region where a garbage landfill complex was being built blocked dumping in their area.

Smaller collapses have occurred at Koshe — or “dirty” in the local Amharic language — in the past two years but only two or three people were killed, Assefa said.

Turkish president says Dutch will ‘pay the price’ for insult

ROTTERDAM, Netherlands — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan intensified his dispute with European nations Sunday, claiming that “Nazism is alive in the West” after two of his ministers were prevented from campaigning in the Netherlands and promising that the Dutch would “pay the price” for their unusual action.

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte worked to contain the diplomatic damage but said it was important for his government not to bow to pressure from Turkey.

Erdogan said Ankara would retaliate for the treatment of the Turkish family affairs minister, who on Saturday was blocked by police from entering her country’s consulate in Rotterdam.

That came after Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu was denied airport landing rights to address a Rotterdam rally.

Bus runs into crowd in Haiti, killing at least 34, hurting 17

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — A bus plowed into people taking part in an early morning street festival in Haiti on Sunday, killing at least 34 people and injuring 17 others, rescue officials said.

The accident occurred at about 3 a.m. in the city of Gonaives when a passenger bus hit two people at a bus stop and continued into a crowd of people participating in a Rara festival, an Easter-season Haitian musical celebration, said Josepth Faustin, civil defense coordinator for the Artibonite region.

Faustin said angry festival participants then attacked the bus and tried to burn it before police rescued the passengers aboard. The bus driver fled and was being sought. He said the cause of the accident was unclear. Gonaives is about 60 miles northwest of Port-au-Prince.

Coalition official: Islamic State ‘trapped’ in western Mosul

BAGHDAD — The remaining western Mosul neighborhoods held by the Islamic State group are now completely surrounded, and ISIS has lost more than 60 percent of the territory the militants once held in Iraq, according to a senior coalition official.

“ISIS is trapped,” Brett McGurk, the special presidential envoy for the global coalition, said in Baghdad on Sunday, using an acronym for the Islamic State group. He told reporters the Iraqi army had taken control of the last road leading out of Mosul late Saturday night.

Iraqi forces are fighting Islamic State in western Mosul after declaring the city’s east “fully liberated” in January.

“Mosul’s liberation is increasingly in sight albeit with increasingly difficult fighting ahead,” McGurk said.

Blizzard could dump 18 inches of snow on NYC

NEW YORK — The Northeast is bracing for a blizzard expected to sweep the New York region starting Monday with possibly the season’s biggest snowstorm dumping up to 18 inches on Central Park.

The National Weather Service issued a blizzard watch Sunday for coastal regions including New York City and surrounding areas of Long Island, Westchester County and Connecticut.

A winter storm watch was in effect for a larger area of the Northeast: New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New England.

In New York City, forecasters said the first snow is expected late Monday or just after midnight Tuesday, with up to 4 inches falling by dawn.

Heavy snow the rest of the day could pile additional 10 to 14 inches, with sustained winds of about 30 mph and wind gusts of up to 50 mph.

Abbas: Trump is committed to Mideast peace process

RAMALLAH, West Bank — Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said President Donald Trump has assured him of his commitment to Israeli-Palestinian peace efforts.

Abbas on Sunday spoke about what he described as a constructive phone call with Trump two days earlier.

The official Palestinian news agency WAFA quoted Abbas as saying Trump “asserted his full commitment to the peace process.”

Abbas said he told Trump he opposes extremism and will cooperate with the U.S. to reach a peace deal based on establishing a Palestinian state.

The phone call helped allay concerns the Palestinians had about Trump, who has embraced Israel’s leader and suggested the two-state solution was optional. Abbas said he is to meet Trump at the White House in “the near future.”

Syria civil war: The Levant Liberation Committee, an al-Qaida-linked group, claimed responsibility Sunday for twin blasts near holy shrines frequented by Shiites in Damascus that killed at least 40 people as a suspected airstrike by the U.S.-led coalition killed at least 17 in northern Syria, activists said.

Fire death toll: The death toll in a fire at a Guatemalan children’s shelter rose to 40 on Sunday with the announcement that another girl died of burns.

Nineteen of the adolescents perished at the scene of Wednesday’s inferno in Guatemala City, and another 21 have died in hospitals.
