13 people were killed in a crowd in Karachi, Pakistan, while waiting for food supplies

 

According to local police, at least 13 people were killed and ten others were injured Friday in a crush of people waiting for Ramadan food donations in Pakistan's largest city, Karachi.


The crowd crush is the latest in a series of fatal incidents at food distribution centres across Pakistan, as citizens grapple with soaring inflation and rising prices for basic necessities.



According to police, the victims of Friday's crush were all women and minors. According to Summaiya Syed Tariq, a surgeon with the local police force, among the dead were two boys aged seven and sixteen, as well as a nine-year-old girl.


According to Tariq, the oldest casualty was an 80-year-old woman.


Personal items, including shoes, are strewn on the ground in images from the aftermath of the crush.
