"The tent had collapsed on one side, trapping people who were desperately attempting to escape," said Abdullah Khan, who tried to help the victims. "I found myself lying next to someone who had lost their limbs. The air was filled with the smell of human flesh," he told AFP by phone. Pakistani media said there were some 400 people in the tent at the time of the explosion, and that multiple emergency crews were working the scene.
