At least 29 women and children have died in a stampede after a religious gathering in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi.

More than 70 are believed to have been injured, some critically, and doctors are urgently appealing for blood.
The stampede started when a girl fell down during women-only prayers in an Islamic centre. At least 10,000 women were at the centre to mark the Prophet Muhammad's birthday, which falls on Tuesday.

The dead and injured have been taken to two different hospitals. It is one of the worst accidents at a women's gathering in the country in many years, the BBC's Zaffar Abbas reports.
