11 women have been killed and many more injured following a stampede breaking out in a stadium in Afghanistan. 

 

The incident occured after thousands of people gathered to request VISAs to enter Pakistan, with applications having just been re-opened after a seven month pause due to coronavirus. 

 

Pakistan’s ambassador to Afghanistan, Mansoor Ahmad Khan says he is deeply saddened by the incident and that his country is working with Afghan authorities for a safer more effective facilitation of VISA applicants.
