Pakistan's hottest cities battle extreme heatwave
STORY: In both Larkana and Jacobabad, the mercury touched 48 degrees Celsius.
At a settlement by a railway track in Larkana, where dwellers were mostly low-income laborers, people said they were bearing extreme heat without any civic amenities.
Jacobabad, located in the northwest of Sindh province, is known for being the hottest place in Pakistan. Sindh Health Department has instructed the local administration to set up heat stroke camps to help people with hydration.
Pakistan’s Meteorological Department said that most parts of the country are likely to remain in the grip of the heatwave during the week. It advised people to avoid unnecessary exposure to direct sunlight and take precautionary measures.
More than a billion people are at risk of heat-related impact in the region, scientists have warned, linking the early onset of an intense summer to climate change.
