KARACHI:
At least 11 people, including three children, were killed in a stampede during a private charity distribution for food ration in Karachi’s SITE industrial area on Friday, one of several such incidents in recent weeks as the population struggles with rising inflation in the country.
Officials said hundreds of people had gathered outside a private garment dying factory in the indsutrial zone for a Zakat and food ration distribution. Eyewitnesses said the people, mostly women and children, started running to collect the ration as soon as the factory gates openen, resulting in the deadly stampede.
