At least 26 women and four children have been killed following a stampede in the Bangladeshi town of Gaibandha, 335 km (210 miles) north of Dhaka. It happened when a wealthy mill-owner opened the gates of his house to distribute clothes to the poor ahead of the Muslim Eid-al-Fitr ceremony. When the gates were opened, there was a mass surge forward as a crowd of more than 2,000 people climbed over each other to get the clothes.
"We have counted 30 bodies. Several others have been injured," said Police Sub-Inspector Golam Minhaz. Many of the injured have been rushed to hospital in a critical condition, according to reports from the United News of Bangladesh.
