ISLAMABAD: Over,200 medical relief camps are being set up in further than 20 flood tide-hit sections this month to give medical backing, including first aid for water- borne conditions and cold fever, to affected citizens, the health minister said on Sunday.

Two medical relief camps(one mobile and one static) will be set up for 25 days in each of the affected quarters.

The camps will be set up in six sections of Balochistan( Jafarabad/ Nasirabad, Sohbatpur, Jhal Magsi, Bolan, Musakhel and Harnai), eight sections of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa(Dera Ismail Khan, Peshawar, Tank, Nowshera, Charsadda, Swat, Shangla, Lower Dir), two sections of Punjab(Dera Ghazi Khan and Rajanpur); and six sections in Sindh(Qambar Shahdadkot/ Larkana, Sukkur/ Khairpur, Dadu, Naushero Feroze, Sanghar/ Badin, and Shikarpur/ Kashmore).

The minister said the primary thing of the camps, being established in collaboration with the National Emergency Operation Cell and Aga Khan University, was to give flood tide victims with on-ground medical aid.
Health Ministry Spokesman Sajid Shah told Dawn that sweats were being made to help the parochial health system as much as possible.

“We’ve transferred medical brigades from Islamabad to the businesses so that the flood tide victims could get medical treatment,” he said.

According to an NFRCC update on Sunday, 25 deaths and 11 injuries related to cataracts were reported during the last 24 hours, taking the overall death risk to,290, including further than 450 children.

Record thunderstorm rains have caused ruinous cataracts across the country since medial June, leaving nearly a third of the country under water and affecting the lives of 33 million people.

The hardest hit is the poor in the pastoral corridor of the country, who have seen their homes, things, life savings, animals, and crops washed down.

The United Nations children’s agency Unicef has said there was a threat of “numerous further” child deaths from conditions that will spread after cataracts.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Sunday appealed to Unicef and other global agencies to help control the deaths of children.

“As Pakistan battles one of the worst climates- convinced disasters, among the most negatively affected are children, ” he twittered.
