Villagers run past the site of Tuesday's stampede as it rains in Hathras district, Uttar Pradesh, India, Wednesday, July 3, 2024. Severe overcrowding and a lack of exits contributed to a stampede at a religious festival in northern India, authorities said Wednesday, leaving more than 100 people dead as the faithful surged toward the preacher to touch him and chaos ensued.
