Anger spills onto streets as hours-long loadshedding hits many cities amid soaring temperature
Traders, shopkeepers, and residents are blocking roads and burning tyres and bushes during a protest against electricity load shedding in Peshawar, Pakistan, on May 29, 2024. Pakistan is experiencing a severe heatwave, with temperatures reaching up to 50 degrees Celsius in some areas, causing health concerns for citizens. Cities such as Dadu and Moenjodaro are recording 50 degrees Celsius, while Karachi, the country's financial hub, is bracing for its hottest week of the year, with temperatures potentially ranging between 40 and 42 degrees Celsius. The Met Office is warning that plain areas will remain under this severe heatwave, with possible dusty winds and thunderstorms, while people are advised to stay cool and hydrated.
