Published on: 

At least 65 people died of heatstroke in Pakistan’s Karachi city over  past three days during the Holy month of Ramazan, media reports said, amid fears the death toll could rise as the temperatures soar.

The temperature hit 44 degrees Celsius and the heatwaves coincided with the month of fasting when most of the Muslims do not eat or drink during daytime.
