A Heatwave Has Killed 65 People In Karachi

Over the last three days, a heatwave has killed at least 65 people in Karachi, the biggest city in Pakistan. On Monday, the temperature reached 111 degrees Fahrenheit, and extreme temperatures are expected through Thursday. There have been several power outages, and because it is the holy month of Ramadan, most Muslims are not eating or drinking during daylight hours. Faisal Edhi, the owner of a company that runs morgues and an ambulance service, told Reuters most of the people who have died "work around heaters and boilers in textile factories," and lived in the poorer areas of Karachi.
