[At least 78 people have been killed in a
crush at a school in the Yemeni
capital Sanaa during a distribution
of charity for Ramadan, officials say.

Video footage on social media shows
chaotic scenes after the incident in
the Bab-al-Yemen area of the city.

Reuters news agency reports that
hundreds of people crowded into
the school to receive donations which
amounted to about $9 (£7) per person.]

That's 77 more deaths than the Grand national.

Time to ban distribution of charity.

It wasn't the charity that killed them though.

Personally I do believe the Grand National needs more safety measures in place rather than an outright ban of the event, having smaller fences would be a good start.

Back on topic though this is terrible news to hear, RIP to those that have passed.
