At least 427 people have died over four days in just one city in Pakistan due to the lethal heatwaves scorching south Asia this summer.
The non-profit Edhi Foundation said it received 427 bodies over four days in Karachi, the country’s biggest city and financial centre. Most of them were homeless people and drug addicts living on the streets, the NGO said on Wednesday.
“The extreme heatwave got to them as these people spend their entire day out in the open searching for fixes,” Faisal Edhi, who heads the foundation, was quoted as saying by news agency PTI.
“We have four mortuaries in Karachi and we have reached a stage where there is no more space to keep bodies.” Mr Edhi said his foundation received 135 bodies on Tuesday alone and 128 on Monday.
