Pakistan Faces 'Second Disaster' From Waterborne Diseases [1]

['Rfe Rl']

Date: 2023-01

1 Dr. Naveed Ahmed checks a girl suffering from malaria at the Sayed Abdullah Shah Institute of Medical Sciences in Sehwan on September 29.



Most of the estimated 300-400 patients arriving at the clinic each morning are suffering from malaria and diarrhea. With winter approaching, Ahmed fears other illnesses will become more common. "I hope people displaced by the floods can get back to their homes before winter. [Otherwise,] they will be exposed to respiratory illnesses and pneumonia living in tents," he said.
