At least 32 people were killed in crowd crushes at two separate charity events in Nigeria on Saturday, police say. Some 22 people were killed at an event held in a community center in Okija in the southeastern state of Anambra, state police said on Sunday.

Stampedes during three Christmas charity events across Nigeria have left at least 67 people dead in the past week, many of them children.

The victims collapsed in crowd surges as people grew desperate for Christmas church food handouts during the worst cost-of-living crisis in a generation.View on euronews
