Friday, July 7, 2024 (HOL) - A fierce fire has engulfed Taiwan market, the largest market in the city of Jigjiga in the Somali region of Ethiopia.
Reports coming from Jigjiga suggest that the fire has taken over the entire Taywaan market. So far, efforts to extinguish the fire have been unsuccessful.
“Taiwan market is completely destroyed. I can compare this disaster to what happened at the Waaheen market in Hargeysa city," said HOL reporter in the Somali region of Ethiopia.
Firefighting assistance arrived from Hargeysa, Dirdhabe, and Harar to the location where the fire broke out, but unfortunately, it was too little too late.
