ISLAMABAD - At least seventeen children have died of malnutrition and other causes in the Tharparkar area of Sindh during last eight days.
Tharparkar district in the famous Thar Desert spans over 120,000 square miles across the Indo-Pak subcontinent, a private news channel reported.
Though only 15 per cent of the desert lies in Pakistan, high rates of child mortality largely due to acute malnutrition pose a major challenge to the local authorities, humanitarian organizations and civil society groups working in the area.
