At least 85 people were killed and over 300 injured in a crush at a charity distribution event in Yemen on Thursday. Hundreds of people gathered at a school in the capital Sanaa to receive cash handouts ahead of Eid al-Fitr, the Muslim holiday which marks the end of the Ramadan fast.
At least "85 were killed and more than 322 were injured" in the stampede in the Bab al-Yemen district of the capital, a security official said, adding that around 50 were in a serious condition.
