Eight people have been reported
dead by the police over the
stampede for food in Zambia. The
stampede had occurred in Lusaka,
capital of Zambia where a church
was giving food to almost 35000
people in a Stadium.
Zambia has been going through
food scarcity since 2015 as there
have been a sharp rise in the price
of foodstuff.
According to reports, "Eight people
died while 28 others were injured in
a stampede which happened at the
Olympic Youth Development Centre
around 6:00 am Monday as a crowd
jostled to enter the premises," police
said in a statement.
"The victims are among the 35,000
which the group had invited for
prayers."
The Zambia Police had to ask the
church to halt the distribution of
corn meal, oil and said.
For the main time, The Zambians
are anticipating when the
distribution would continue.
