Pakistanis in deadly scramble for scarce donations.

A series of deadly scrambles for food have occurred in Pakistan as the country struggles with its most serious economic crisis in years. Inflation has soared to a record 35%, with food inflation at 47.1% and 50.2% for urban and rural areas respectively. The impact of inflation is compounded by smaller donations of the traditional zakat alms for the poor, leading to a 50% reduction in donations this year, while there has been a 50% increase in people seeking help. Charities are struggling to deal with rising inflation and costs, and there is some form of donor fatigue.
