In a tragic incident in Khairpur, Sindh, six children died after consuming poisoned milk in the village of Habib Brohi, near Pir Jo Goth.
More than ten children fell ill after eating contaminated food late at night. They were rushed to the local hospital, but two of them died upon arrival.
The remaining eight were in critical condition, and unfortunately, four more children passed away this morning, raising the death toll to six. All the victims were from the same family.
The deceased children include Dilbar Ghulam Asghar, Fahmida Ganj, Baby Sonia, and others. Four children, including Maryam Hajani, Manzoor, and Muhammad Bakhsh, are still in critical condition.
The grieving families are accusing the local hospital of negligence, stating that a lack of doctors and inadequate facilities contributed to the deaths. They are calling for strict action against the hospital staff involved.
The families also claim that the children’s condition worsened due to delays in getting them to the hospital, which was affected by heavy rains.
Hospital doctors have confirmed that a poisonous substance in the food caused the deaths. Tests are being conducted to identify the exact poison involved.
