Yemen stampede claims over 70 lives during Ramadan charity event.

At least 78 people were killed in a stampede in Yemen's capital, Sanaa, as hundreds gathered to receive donations from local merchants. Witnesses blamed the lack of organization and management of the crowd, as well as the Houthi rebels who control Sanaa and the Yemeni government for not providing salaries to state employees in Houthi-controlled areas. The tragedy highlights the economic devastation caused by years of war in Yemen. The Houthi authorities have promised compensation for the victims' families and the injured, but many have criticized it as too little, too late.
