THARPARKAR (Dunya News) – As many as seven more children died on Tuesday due to malnutrition in the famine-struck region taking the death toll up to 92 in one and a half month.
The affectees in Chachro and Dhali areas are also suffering from gastro and pneumonia.
Diseases and malnutrition have left the laps of mothers in desolation.
Dozens of children are caught in the terrible struggle between life and death.
Reportedly, the administration’s negligence over the matter has increased the problems of the residents.
Chief Minister (CM) Sindh Qaim Ali Shah has said that children used to die earlier also but nobody took notice of the deaths at that time.
The affectees in many areas are still looking for wheat that is sent as aid.
The issue of potable water still exists even after a grant of two crores for a population of 15,000 people in Chahchro.
Hundreds of wells have dried up and the people do not have access to potable water.
CM Shah said that the Sindh government is giving out free wheat for the affectees.
Reportedly, the people of Tharparkar have a problem that they cannot see the practical implementation of government’s promises due to the political influence and feudalism in the area.
