A record-shattering heat wave in Pakistan has left at least 224 people dead.
Officials in Karachi, the country’s largest city with 20 million residents, say that 224 people have been confirmed dead from heat related causes. Hundreds more are being treated for heat stroke or other heat related illnesses.
“Hospitals across the city are overcrowded due to record numbers of patients suffering from heat stroke,” Jam Mehtab Hussain Dahar, the health minister for Sindh province, said. “The numbers are unprecedented but the situation is under control.”
Temperatures in the city on Saturday reached close to 113 degrees fahrenheit, the highest recorded temperature in the country in 15 years. Sunday’s high was around 108.5 fahrenheit. The city’s all time record is 117 degrees fahrenheit set in 1979.
Local media reported that 150 bodies were taken to the Edhi morgue in Sohrab Goth. The morgue usually receives 20 bodies a day.
Many of the country’s residents are Muslim, meaning they are observing Ramadan and not partaking of food and water during the daylight hours. The city is also dealing with frequent power outages that cut off air conditioning and fans.
The heat wave comes after a wave last month in India left over 2,000 people dead.
