At least 60 people have been crushed to death about 200 injured during New Year festivities in Ivory Coast's main city Abidjan, rescue officials say.
The incident occurred in the early hours of Tuesday near a stadium in the centre of the city where a fireworks display and a concert was held.
It is unclear what caused the stampede. The victims are said to have included many children.
Relatives have gone to the scene to get news of missing loved ones.
The distraught mother of a nine-year-old boy told local media: "I have just seen all those bodies, but I can't find my son."
