A crowd crush in Yemen has killed at least 78 people and injured dozens more. Reports say hundreds of people were packed into a small street to receive charity aid from local businessmen – a tradition ahead of the festival of Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan. Officials from the Houthi rebel group, which controls the capital of Sanaa, tried to control the crowd by firing into the air, and witnesses say electrical wires were hit and caused an explosion. The Houthis say they’ll compensate the families of those killed and the injured. Yemen has been in a civil war since 2015 when Iran-backed Houthi fighters removed the government, creating one of the world’s worst humanitarian disasters. In recent weeks, some progress has been made towards a permanent ceasefire.
