| [DAWN] The outbreak of water-borne and viral diseases in the drought-hit Tharparkar district took lives of 12 more children on Friday, raising the corpse count to 138 this month. A newborn died at Civil Hospital in Mithi, while an infant Shahpuri died in village Jagan Lund, Hamida died in village Narori while two other kids bit the dust in the village of Dahli. Two infants and a six month old girl Mariam Arbab died in village Chanor near Islamkot. A six year old child Ghulam Rasool Wasan died in village Kunryo Wasan near Mithi, while twins Saima and Qasim along with another child died in village Galhau near Diplo town. However, some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them... the government officials still claimed that so far "only 42" children have died at the government hospitals of the district. |
