The outbreak of waterborne diseases in areas hit by recent record-breaking floods in Pakistan has raised concern among health officials, as nearly half a million people are living in relief camps, local media reported.
According to a report released by the Sindh health department, diarrhoea, skin diseases and eye infections are spreading at relief camps set up by the government across the province, local media reported.
Pakistan has faced unprecedented floods this year, affecting nearly 33 million people and leaving tens of thousands displaced.
Due to internal displacement, more than 500,000 people are currently living in relief camps across Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, and Punjab.
According to a report released by the health officials on Saturday, more than 134,000 diarrhoea cases were reported from Sindh in the past two months.
