Pakistan heat wave claims hundreds of lives
MORE FROM CNN:
At the Edhi morgue in Karachi, the smell is overwhelming.
At least 650 bodies have been brought here since Saturday. Many lie in storage. But an oppressive heat wave – and the frequent power outages from electricity grids trying to keep up with demand – means the morgue is unable to properly maintain the temperature at the overcrowded facility.
A handwritten sign outside says the morgue is filled to capacity. Other bodies lie outside.
