Authorities in Tanzania took more than a week to confirm that 45 people died in a stampede March 21 at the memorial for late president John Magufuli.
Speaking with local newspapers, city police commander Lazaro Mambosasa said 37 people were injured in the incident at Uhuru Stadium in the business capital, Dar es Salaam, but all have been discharged from local hospitals.
One family lost five relatives in the stampede, and a house attendant was declared missing for two days before family members found him dead at a hospital in the city.
Human rights activists are demanding those behind the tragedy and the delay of information be held accountable.
