Famine continues to threaten humanity in Thar claiming one more life in Civil Hospital Mithi on Monday, taking the death toll to 32 in a span of 11 days.
A two-year-old child died in Civil Hospital Mithi whereas the Sindh government has been unable to make adequate arrangements and ample assistance as children continue to die of starvation.
Earlier a week ago, Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party Bilawal Bhutto had constituted a committee comprising of information adviser Moula Bux Chandio and food minister Nasir Shah to look into the situation in Thar but nothing has changed in that area rather death toll has been rising severely day by day.
This is one of the most neglected area of Sind. Only two days ago, the all powerful 'adviser' to the toothless Sind CM, said that Thar is 'under-developed' for centuries and it will take another century to develop it'. During the last drought hundreds of people had died and the whole PPP leadership had rushed to that area – for photo session. Nothing has changed. Out of the five mobile dispensaries provided for the area, three are not working and two are in personal use of Officials. The Party which failed to maintain L&O in urban areas, how can it manage the rural areas ? Time to search soul instead of reading scripts here and there.
