The death toll from a heatwave in Pakistan's southern Sindh province has passed 800, hospital officials say, as mortuaries reached capacity.
At least 780 people have died in Karachi, BBC Urdu reported. Another 30 deaths were reported elsewhere in the province, state owned PTV said.
The Edhi Welfare Organisation told AFP that their mortuaries had received hundreds of corpses and were now full.
Officials have been criticised for not doing enough to tackle the crisis.
Wednesday has been declared a public holiday by the administration in Sindh in the hope that people will stay indoors out of the sun.
On Tuesday as temperatures reached 45C (113F), Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif called for emergency measures, and the army was deployed to help set up heat stroke centres.
