We are sitting on a generalised epidemic of AIDS in Pakistan. UNAIDS estimates that Pakistan has the fastest-growing number of AIDS cases in Asia.

What BBC film has revealed in Tunsa THQ is a tip of the iceberg. Same practices are rampant in all districts of the country. All blood borne diseases as a result are on the rise in Pakistan due to absolutely irresponsible health care practices including, reuse of disposable syringes by health care workers and drug addicts; unscreened blood transfusions; unprotected sex; unhygienic use of shaving instruments and so on. We have the largest population with Hepatitis C infection in the world ie around 10 million.

After RatuDero outbreak of AIDS among young children, I sat up a Taskforce for safe injection which produced a National Action Plan for Injection Safety and we banned the import, manufacture, sale and use of reusable disposable syringes and we promoted their replacement with auto-destruct syringes. The breakdown of governance, lack of implementation of policies, and complete lack of accountability has not made the desired effect on the ground though local manufacture has shifted predominantly to auto-destruct syringes.

There are health budget issues, supply chain issues and unfilled posts in public sector health facilities where only poor and gullible people go for lack of affordability. Tunsa is a wake up call, like Ratu Dero (2020) outbreak was, like Jalalpur Jatan (2009) outbreak was, and many other outbreaks. After a spike in media discussions and governments defending the issue gradually dies down.

Our successive governments have failed to make health care their priority which is evident from the very low spending on health care. In this case, very young children are suffering and dying due to AIDS due to health care workers criminal behaviour of using same infected syringes on multiple children. Those who survive have to take lifelong medication - a life long suffering and liability on society. Look at the clip below. It is horrendous. This is scandalous.

For God sake take care of people’s health and make it a fiscal priority. We have to take a moral and financial responsibility for people’s health care, rather than continue to be dependent on Global Fund, GAVI and others. These are our children, our people and they are our responsibility.

Rather than digging your head in shame you still have the audacity to give a political angle to the whole matter.

[Karachi Metropolitan Corporation @KmcPakistan]

Due to yesterday’s unfortunate incident, today’s City Council session was kept brief. — Mayor @murtazawahab1

We had intended to discuss the incident in detail during the session.

As a legislative council, we have always tried to resolve matters responsibly.

But our colleagues in Jamaat-e-Islami refuse constructive politics and resort only to criticism.

They level accusations without even checking which town or UC falls under whose authority.

Jamaat-e-Islami began chanting slogans even before the session started—arriving with placards and banners.

Politics should be for Karachi’s progress, not for theatrics.

[Shehbaz Sharif @CMShehbaz]

Pakistan strongly condemns the dastardly attack by Israeli forces on the 40 vessel Samud Gaza flotilla, carrying over 450 humanitarian workers from 44 countries.
We hope and pray for the safety of all those who have been illegally apprehended by Israeli forces and call for their immediate release. Their crime was to carry aid for the hapless Palestinian people.
This barbarity must end. Peace must be given a chance and humanitarian aid must reach those in need.

[fatima bhutto 🇵🇸🇱🇧🇮🇷 @fbhutto]

The Pakistani people will never accept a two-state surrender. There is only one Palestine and it is occupied by Israel, a criminal genocidal entity.

Shove it up your tiny ass you fucking asshole

[Shehbaz Sharif @CMShehbaz]

I welcome President Trump’s 20-point plan to ensure an end to the war in Gaza.

I am also convinced that durable peace between the Palestinian people and Israel would be essential in bringing political stability and economic growth to the region.

It is also my firm belief that President Trump is fully prepared to assist in whatever way necessary to make this extremely important and urgent understanding to become a reality.

I laud President Trump’s leadership and the vital role played by Special Envoy Steve Witkoff in bringing an end to this war.

I also strongly believe that the implementation of the two state proposal is essential to ensure lasting peace in the region.

Gary Lineker on winning the National TV Award,

"It's not lost on me why I might have won this award"

"Aside from presenting Match of the Day, the most iconic football show for 26 years"

"Also, I think it demonstrates that perhaps it's ok sometimes to use our platform to speak up on behalf of those who have no voice"

@GaryLineker Legend 👏
