Two explosions outside a crowded church in northwest Pakistan just as Sunday services ended killed at least 75 people and wounded more than 100, authorities said, one of Pakistan’s worst attacks against Christians in years.
Humanitarian organizations reported handling at least 75 corpses.
The dead and injured, including women, children and police officers, overwhelmed the emergency ward of Peshawar’s Lady Reading Hospital, the city’s largest hospital, where television footage showed hallways filled with corpses, badly wounded patients and women and children crying over the charred bodies of relatives.
Many bodies were in such bad shape they could not be easily identified, doctors said.
