According to the provincial health ministry, district Korangi continued to be the most affected, with 63 cases reported in a single day.
In Karachi, the provincial health department has so far documented 1,620 cases of dengue fever this month, bringing the yearly total to 3,287.
4,320 instances have been reported in the current year in the other areas of Sindh province that have been severely flooded.
The Sindh government has claimed that it has taken measures to combat dengue fever in the province, ignoring the fact that the vast majority of the country is under water because of flooding and that urban areas have received unprecedented rainfall during the monsoon season.
Administrator Murtaza Wahab of Karachi informed today’s meeting that 201 dengue cases were registered in the city yesterday. He promised that the administration would begin a fumigation and spraying campaign to eliminate dengue mosquito larvae.
