Pakistan's Deadly Food Stampede Crisis: Arrests Made and Tear Gas Used to Disperse Crowds.

Eight people, including the factory manager, have been arrested in Karachi after a stampede at a Ramadan food and cash distribution point killed 12 people. The factory manager did not inform local authorities about the alms giving. The Pakistani government launched an initiative to distribute free flour among low-income families to ease the impact of record-breaking inflation and soaring poverty during the holy month. At least 23 people have died in Ramadan food stampedes since the start of the holy month.
