Pakistanis Seek Relief From Severe Heat Wave

Hospitals in the city of Karachi are preparing for an influx of patients suffering from heat stroke amid sweltering temperatures in Pakistan. Locals have been asked to stay indoors and authorities have closed schools in parts of the country. For those braving the stifling heat wave, volunteers are pouring water on parched pedestrians while street vendors provide ice-cold beverages to help residents cool off.
