Where is korah ethiopia

These people have become outcast and forgotten, rejected by outsiders who refuse to understand their condition. Those living in Korah are extremely vulnerable. Poverty consumes the area, leaving many widowed and orphaned. Illness spreads quickly due to scarce and tainted food, filthy living conditions and a lack of clean water. This kind of destitution breaks families apart; separating them through desperation, illness, and death.

King Hale Selase was willing to give land, but only land that was far from the town and in the forest to keep the people with leprosy separate from everyone else. People from the countryside would walk for days and weeks seeking treatment. They came alone to the city because their family members believed they were cursed when they contracted leprosy. In fact, some of these individuals were put into a separate hut when their disease was discovered.

Later, their family would light the hut on fire. The family members were so convinced that the leprosy was a curse that they were even willing to kill their own children. They lived near the hospital, around the trash dump. This is how Korah was born. Over eighty years later, Addis Ababa has grown.
