Tens of thousands of men, women and children in Sindh’s poorest area, Thar, are waiting for government aid. These people are left with inadequate food and water in the drought-stricken region. In the photos that have now gone viral on social media even animals can be seen in a dismal condition. Some camels and goats have starved to death. What is happening in Thar is not something new. It is shameful that the PPP-led Sindh government has not done anything to improve the condition of Thar. Premature death of children under the age of five is, unfortunately, a usual occurrence in the area. We voted for the PTI hoping that it would look into all the matters that were ignored by previous governments. The PTI-led government, along with the Sindh government, should take remedial measures on an urgent basis to alleviate the suffering of people living in Thar.
