The death toll from crowd crushes at two Christmas charity events in Nigeria has risen to 32, including at least four children. The incidents occurred as desperate Nigerians sought food and assistance during the country's severe cost-of-living crisis, marked by skyrocketing food prices. Witnesses described chaos as attendees rushed the gates, leading to deadly surges. The Nigerian President has called for immediate safety measures to prevent such tragedies and urged the enforcement of crowd control. This follows an earlier incident where 35 children were killed at a separate event in Ibadan.
