At least 21 people have been killed and several others have been injured in a stampede in Indonesia, according to local officials and media reports.
The crush happened as people waited for charity handouts from a wealthy family in the East Javan town of Pasuruan. Under a system known as Zakat, wealthy muslims are required to give away a portion of their money to the poor every year. There were 10,000 people in the crowd waiting to be given money from a rich family according to Indonesia's state news agency.
