Re: Gunmen kill 6 polio workers in Pakistan

It is sad that Pakistan is among the three countries on the planet which are still dealing with the polio virus, and many children get infected and are crippled for life. It is sad that the health workers, who go door to door to administer polio drops to children of underprivileged families, are targeted and killed. Our heart goes out to the families of those killed, and we condemn this act of senseless violence against those heath workers. They were only out there to save the lives of a few children, and earn an honest living. Those responsible for these heinous acts should be brought to justice, so in Pakistan too children would grow up without the fear of a crippling disease and become productive citizens.

Re: Gunmen kill 6 polio workers in Pakistan

On Tuesday, Four women were killed in less than an hour in seemingly coordinated attacks in Karachi, a day after a man working on a local government-World Health Organization (WHO) project was also shot dead in the city, police said.

A sixth worker, also a woman, was killed on Tuesday in Peshawar, which lies close to the tribal areas, a haven for the Taliban and other militants who ordered a ban on polio vaccinations in June.

The WHO and UNICEF condemned the attacks and expressed their commitment to supporting Pakistan in its efforts to rid the country of polio and other diseases, while the United Nations called the killings “senseless and inexcusable”.

Pakistan is one of only three countries where polio remains endemic, along with Afghanistan and Nigeria, but efforts to tackle the highly infectious crippling disease have been hampered over the years by local suspicion.

Re: Gunmen kill 6 polio workers in Pakistan

perhaps they considered it another intelligence gathering exercise , Law Enforcing agencies should comb that area in which these attacks occurred , maybe some high value Target is hiding there ..!!

What is WRONG with you?
What does it have to do with MQM? Do you think it is MQM doing it? Is Ummat owned by MQM? Is Sindh government owned by MQM?
Is MQM also killing polio workers in KP? Is KP government also owned by MQM?

Re: Gunmen kill 6 polio workers in Pakistan

I am waiting to see the condemnation of this incident from PTI Khan. And I am wondering if you would clearly call Taliban responsible for these murders.

Re: Gunmen kill 6 polio workers in Pakistan

law enforcers are a joke. polio is such a terrible illness and now because of these animals the only ones to suffer are our children.

my heart goes out to the families of the victims, living in a lawless country they cant even expect justice for the crimes

Re: Gunmen kill 6 polio workers in Pakistan

its naught to do with being pathans, its to do with the fact that ignorance is so rife in our country that people are very easily swayed by rumors. there is no education, no health care. stop being racist.
