At least 26 women and four children have been killed following a stampede in the Bangladeshi town of Gaibandha about 200 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. The tradition is common at this time of year in Bangladesh.
The 2,000 strong crowd had been waiting all night, and when the gates were opened the surge was so great that one of the walls of the compound is said to have collapsed.
Police say the gateman and the younger brother of the industrialist are suspected of negligence and have been arrested.
