The dengue fever crisis in Pakistan's Sindh province has reached a grim milestone, with the death toll climbing to 36. This devastating news highlights the urgent need for action and awareness. But is the situation getting the attention it deserves?
According to the provincial health department, three more lives were claimed by this mosquito-borne disease in Sindh. A 50-year-old man and an 80-year-old woman lost their battle in Hyderabad, and a 55-year-old woman succumbed in Karachi. This brings the total number of deaths in the province to 36 for this year alone.
