Volcanic activity at the long-dormant Hayli Gubbi volcano in northern Ethiopia subsided on Tuesday after a weekend eruption that blanketed nearby villages in ash and disrupted international air travel. Residents in the Afdera district of the Afar region reported respiratory issues and loss of clean water and grazing for livestock, prompting mobile medical teams to be dispatched to the affected areas. The eruption forced airlines to cancel dozens of flights, particularly those crossing the ash cloud's path, which stretched from Ethiopia across the Middle East and into India. Experts noted this was the first recorded eruption of Hayli Gubbi in 10,000 years, with the ash cloud expected to clear Indian skies by late Tuesday.
