Default Over 70 Crushed/Died in Ramadan : Yemen's capital Sanaa

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-65331831

[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.

There is always some tragedy when Ramadan ends, largely due to the fact people have been starving themselves and stop thinking rationally. There is an obvious solution
