Increase in malaria deaths in Pakistan due to severe weather effects

The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported that malaria-related deaths have increased sharply in Pakistan and Malawi due to severe weather effects.

According to the head of the World Health Organization, Peter Sands, malaria infection cases have increased 4 times to 16 lahks in Pakistan after last year's floods.

According to Peter Sands, there has been an increase in malaria cases in Malawi due to the torrential rains.

Peter Sands says work is still needed to end the worsening malaria situation, with ponds formed after rains in Pakistan and Malawi becoming ideal breeding grounds for malaria mosquitoes.

Tomorrow, April 25, will be celebrated as World Malaria Day across the world.
