At least 78 people were killed and several injured in a stampede during the distribution of charitable donations in a school in Yemen's capital, Sanaa. The donations were being distributed by merchants in the final days of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

The country is facing the worst global humanitarian crisis after eight years of fighting. The two merchants responsible for organizing the event have been detained, and an investigation is underway.
