At least 41 people, all women and children, have died after a fire broke out in a tent being used at a wedding in Kuwait City.

At least 50 other people are believed to have been injured in the blaze late on Saturday night in Jahra, west of the Kuwaiti capital, Saad al-Enezi, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Kuwait, said.

"Many of them are in a very, very serious condition," al-Enezi said.

"The rescue operation has finished now - everyone is either in hospital or the morgue."
