科特迪瓦官员说,在阿比让举行的新年庆祝活动中发生踩踏事件,造成至少60人死亡。
救援人员说,星期二清晨发生在普拉图城区一座体育馆附近的这起事故还造成大约50人受伤,当时数十万人聚集在一起观看焰火。
大多数死者是儿童和少年。科特迪瓦政府说,目前正在调查造成踩踏事件的原因。瓦塔拉总统说,这是一场全国性悲剧。
一位科特迪瓦记者对美国之音说,当时向相反方向移动的两股人流在一条狭窄的街道上发生冲撞。 另一名目击者对美国之音说,执法人员封锁了该地区的出口,致使人群动弹不得。
Officials in Ivory Coast say at least 60 people were crushed to death during a stampede at a New Year's celebration in Abidjan.
Rescue workers say about 50 others were injured in the incident early Tuesday near a stadium in the Plateau district, where hundreds of thousands of people had gathered to watch fireworks.
Most of those killed were children and teenagers. The government says it is investigating what caused the stampede. President Alassane Ouattara calls it a national tragedy.
One Ivorian journalist tells VOA that two large waves of people, moving in opposite directions, bumped into each other on a narrow street.
Another witness tells VOA that law enforcement blocked an exit in the area, which kept the crowd from moving.
