Reeling from the 8 October 7.6 magnitude earthquake which left tens of thousands dead and millions homeless, Pakistan may now be facing more catastrophes–widespread disease and illness, a lack of resources and aid and harmful weather conditions. Injured survivors are now suffering from diseases such as hemorrhagic fever, Gangrenous infection, cold and tetanus. Harsh weather conditions, coupled with a lack of tents, medicines and medical care could cause the death toll to continue to climb. (Assist News)
