Twelve more children lost their lives due to pneumonia in Punjab during the last 24 hours due to an increase in cold weather.
As many as 491 cases of pneumonia in children have been reported during past 24 hours alone. This brings the total number of cases in Pakistan’s largest province to 10,061. Meanwhile, the death toll has reached 194 in Punjab.
The high number of cases has also led to extreme shortages of medicines in Lahore, where several children are being treated for various pneumonia, chest and other viral infections.
