Seventy-two people have now been confirmed dead following the weekend landslide at a vast rubbish dump on the outskirts of the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, the BBC reported on Tuesday.
The search for more victims is continuing and funerals for some of those who have died have already taken place.
A number of makeshift houses are now buried under tonnes of waste.
The area has been a dumping ground for Addis Ababa's rubbish for more than five decades.
