The World Health Organisation raised the alarm on Saturday about a “second disaster" in the wake of the deadly floods in Pakistan this summer, as doctors and medical workers on the ground race to battle outbreaks of waterborne and other diseases.
The floodwaters started receding this week in the worst-hit provinces but many of the displaced — now living in tents and makeshift camps — increasingly face the threat of gastrointestinal infections, dengue fever and malaria, which are on the rise. The dirty and stagnant waters have become breeding grounds for mosquitos.
The unprecedented monsoon rains since mid-June, which many experts link to climate change, and subsequent flooding have killed 1,545 people across Pakistan, inundated millions of acres of land and affected 33 million people. As many as 552 children have also been killed in the floods.
Meanwhile, India pacer Mohammed Shami tested positive for Covid-19 ahead of the T20I series against Australia, starting on Tuesday.
As per the ESPNcricinfo, Shami tested positive for Covid-19 and Umesh Yadav, who was supposed to undergo rehab for a quad injury in Bengaluru, has been brought into the squad and will play his first T20I in almost two years.
The fast bowler tested positive for Covid-19 and was supposed to play for India in the T20I series against Australia, which begins on Tuesday, but he is yet to arrive in Mohali, where the first game is scheduled to take place.
