A tragic incident in Khairpur, Sindh, has resulted in the deaths of six children who consumed poisoned milk.
The incident took place in the village of Habib Brohi, near Pir Jo Goth, where over ten children fell seriously ill after drinking the contaminated milk.
The children who lost their lives include Dilbar Ghulam Asghar, Fahmida Ganj, Baby Sonia, among others. Four other children, including Maryam Hajani, Manzoor, and Muhammad Bakhsh, are in critical condition.
The victims’ families are overwhelmed with grief and anger, accusing the local hospital of negligence. They argue that a shortage of medical staff and inadequate facilities contributed to the fatalities. Moreover, they allege that delays in reaching the hospital, exacerbated by heavy rains, worsened the children’s conditions.
Authorities are currently investigating how the milk became contaminated with poison.
