Eight worshippers die in crush at Burundi preacher's gathering

The same year, at least 29 people, including 11 children, were killed in a crush in Liberia after thieves targeted worshippers leaving a large evangelical gathering.

Eight people died and nine others were injured in a crush during an evangelical gathering in Burundi's largest city, Bujumbura.

At least 20 people died in 2020 in neighbouring Tanzania during an outdoor religious service as attendees rushed forward to be anointed with blessed oil.
