On Wednesday, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif warned of a perilous outbreak of water and vector-borne diseases while ordering the rapid dewatering of the flooded areas. During his visit to Balochistan’s Sohbatpur district, the premier said: “Infectious diseases are spreading in the flood-affected areas. Controlling the outbreak is crucial.” PM Shehbaz also cautioned that dealing with disease outbreak would become difficult if measures to limit the spread are not taken.
