Four more children died in different villages of the drought-hit Thar region on Saturday as the death toll from the famine coupled with inadequate health facilities rose steadily to 64 in 47 days.

Two-day-olds Niaz and Farooq, four-month-old Rasheed and one-year-old Sunil Kumar died in different villages of Thar on Saturday. Locals attributed the deaths to inadequate health facilities.

According to a private news channel report, doctors in hospitals of Thar could not be appointed despite the Sindh government’s tall claims.
