A horrific stampede in Karachi claimed 11 lives in Pakistan on March 31. The tragedy occurred during distribution of food in the southern Pakistani city. According to the Police, the deceased included five women and three children. The injured were rushed to the nearby hospital with injuries from the rush of people. Welfare Organisation, Edhi Foundation Chief said that some people even drowned in the nearby stream. Pakistan Govt has launched a flour distribution program to reach millions of needy families. The distribution program was organised to provide respite from the impact of inflation. As a result, thousands of people had gathered at flour distribution centers set up across the country. At least five other persons were killed, several injured in recent weeks in other provinces at flour distribution facilities in Pakistan. Also, as per official records, thousands of bags of flour were also looted from trucks and distribution points. The stampedes underscore people’s desperation in the face of soaring costs, exacerbated by Pakistan’s falling currency. The costs of basic goods have surged, with flour prices rising more than 45 pc in the past year. There seems to be no respite for the cash-strapped nation in the near future.
