The scorching sun isn't holding back in Pakistan's southern port city of Karachi, where at least 16 people have tragically lost their lives due to a relentless heatwave over the past two days. 🥵
Rescue officials from the Edhi service reported on Thursday that soaring temperatures led to severe dehydration, claiming lives in neighborhoods like Lyari, Korangi, and Lasbela. Local communities are reeling as they cope with the sudden losses.
\"It's a tough time for all of us,\" said a resident of Lyari. \"We're trying to stay hydrated and cool, but the heat is just unbearable.\"
As the mercury rises, authorities are urging citizens to take precautions: stay indoors during peak hours, drink plenty of water, and look out for vulnerable neighbors. 🌞
Remember, staying cool isn't just about comfort—it’s about survival. Let's spread the word and keep our communities safe! 💪
