Very sad to read all this. 130+ heat related deaths. Unfortunately this heat struck in Ramadan when people find themselves in between rock and hard place, either stay hydrated or keep fasting.
May Allah swt help the people who have to face the wrath of weather and on top of that wrath of incompetent governance all around Pakistan.
May Allah swt forgive those who died in this heat wave and help the families they left behind.
Re: 130+ dead in heat-wave in Karachi/Sindh
Why so many deaths in Karachi? The heat wave elsewhere is not any different.

Bigger population. Easier access to the hospitals and numbers for media.
People dying in smaller places wouldn't really attract much attention.
Re: 130+ dead in heat-wave in Karachi/Sindh
Type of accommodation is also a reason. U will not find tiny airless apartment in smaller areas. Under such heat with out electricity n in soum with out water ....

Yes apartments could be one reason, not many outside Karachi
Re: 130+ dead in heat-wave in Karachi/Sindh
There was a record heat this time and unusually spell is very long , Previous always mostly 1-2 days high heat and than air from sea comes for relief , It is continue today
Karachites are waiting for rangers operation against heat
Re: 130+ dead in heat-wave in Karachi/Sindh
Its probably "longer" spell of heat, people in Karachi are not as well prepared for such high temperatures, plus fasting, plus lack of electricity causing loss of cooling (no fans, no ice) etc.

that was my point, heat itself can't be the reason, other areas have higher temperature. say for example Lahore which has had near to 50 degrees days, and load shedding in rural areas is more than 12 hours. the only thing I can think of is lack of water which has been a big issue lately and apartments.
Re: 130+ dead in heat-wave in Karachi/Sindh
This is too much man, so many deaths due to heat. I've been through crazy heat in my time but this is insane.
Re: 130+ dead in heat-wave in Karachi/Sindh
Inna lillah.. Its extremely sad

Becuz there are some in khi itself while a lot were actually brought from interior sindh or southern Baluchistan and once admitted in hospital either get treated or unfortunately die so therefore counted as the urban death.
My **question **to everyone in the know:
Is there any charity organization anyone is aware of who is directly involved in helping the victims by providing them meds, getting checkups and stuff like water/food etc??
The least we can do is the give them our charity the help them in this head during Ramadhan
Re: 130+ dead in heat-wave in Karachi/Sindh
The death toll is around 250 now.

Only Eadhi

It's heat plus fast.Heat is unbearable, I live in an area where there is no loadshedding/water problem still a man collapsed in a nearby masjid yesterday while offering zohar prayers and we came to know later that he died of heat stroke.Remember we survived the hottest day wih 43 degrees last month without fast.Main reason is dehydration because of fast and scorching heat.

Well done Ch Nisar
This year in Capital we saw only one day hot
Ist Ramadan
Weather is fine that we didn't use AC yet
Well done N$ & Showbaz
Re: 130+ dead in heat-wave in Karachi/Sindh
1000 and above is more accurate. The docs working in Karachi hospitals are posting that not all bodies are being counted. Numbers are being falsified.
Re: 130+ dead in heat-wave in Karachi/Sindh
The hospitals are overwhelmed, and they're out of saline bags in some hospitals. This is an incredible crap show. You'd think they have disaster plans in place in cities like Karachi, but they don't.
Are bottles of water being shipped into Karachi/Sindh/Baluchistan?
In situations like this, they just need to stop fasting. Seriously.
