    Fund Established For Pukkelpop Festival Storm Victims

    The Organisers of the Pukkelpop festival in Belgium have established a fund to help the families of those killed when a violent storm struck the event last month.

    Four people died and dozens were injured, many seriously, when sudden freak weather caused staging to collapse and trees to be uprooted.

    The festival, which was due to feature performances from Eminem and Foo Fighters, was cancelled.

    Organisers have urged people to donate money to Steunfonds Slachtoffers Pukkelpopstorm - Support Fund for the Victims of the Pukkelpop Storm.

    They said "the full amount of every donation, large or small, will go to the victims".

    Around 60,000 people were estimated to be in attendance at the festival, which has been named as one of the largest in Europe.
