At least 13 people, including four children, lost their lives in two separate stampedes in Nigeria as crowds gathered to receive food and clothing during Christmas charity events. The incidents occurred shortly after another similar tragedy, highlighting the growing trend of local organizations organizing charitable distributions amid a severe cost-of-living crisis. Police reported that ten individuals died at the Catholic Church of the Holy Trinity in Abuja, while three others perished at an event in Okija, Anambra state. Nigerian President Bola Tinubu expressed condolences and urged stricter crowd control measures.
