Officials in Zimbabwe say five children were killed after a dam collapsed in eastern Zimbabwe. Rescuers were searching for two others who were reported missing. An influx of water following continuous rains in recent weeks breached the walls of the dam at a farm in Chipinge, a remote district in the east of the country, on Sunday. Authorities initially said a four-year-old girl doing laundry with her mother and a 30-year-old man died. The girl’s mother survived. However, with some children unaccounted for in the area, a frantic search and rescue mission kicked off and resulted in the recovery of four more bodies of children this week. The southern African nation’s disaster management agency said the search is continuing for two more children.
