Eleven people have been killed in a stampede at a stadium in Morocco where a world music festival was taking place.
Stampede at Mawazine festival concert in Rabat, Morocco
Many of those killed in a stampede at Mawazine festival were women and children
It happened as thousands of spectators in the capital Rabat hurried to leave at the end of a concert wrapping up the landmark event.
About 3,000 uniformed and plain-clothed officers were at the event.
Police said the crowd surging towards one of the exits appeared to have brought down a wire fence, setting off the stampede.
Five women, four men and two children were later found dead, apparently having suffocated in the crush. At least 40 other people were injured.
The victims were among 70,000 spectators at a concert by Moroccan pop star Abdelaziz Stati at the Hay Nahda soccer stadium.
A source close to the case said all those who died were Moroccan.

Rescuers rushed to the scene to pull out survivors and transport the injured to Rabat's main hospital, Ibn Sina, where a source said all but seven of the injured had been discharged.
"Most of the injured are young," Abdelatif Benchekroun, the hospital's head of emergency care, said.
The concert was part of the week-long annual Mawazine music festival, aimed at promoting an image of tolerance and modernity in the Muslim north African kingdom.
This year's event featured Stevie Wonder, Kylie Minogue, Ennio Morricone, Khaled, Alicia Keys and Algerian diva Warda al Jazairia, and drew tens of thousands of spectators.
Mawazine, which is backed by King Mohammed, aims to liven up the capital city and ward off the growing cultural influence of powerful opposition Islamists.
Moroccan Islamist politicians have denounced pop concerts as encouraging immoral behaviour.
They argue it would be better to spend the money in creating jobs.
