A government official says it is “a tragic and painful accident”

More than 80 people have been killed and hundreds injured in one of the deadliest stampedes in a decade.

In Yemen’s capital of Sana’a, hundreds of people have been injured, including women and children, during an event where financial aid was being distributed inside a school.
