| 2015-06-29 |
| [DAWN] Although the searing heat of last week has passed, high temperatures claimed another 20 lives in the city today. According to Sindh health department statistics, since June 20, a total of 1,206 have died in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... alone due to the heat wave. Commenting on the situation, Provincial Minister for Health Jam Mahtab claimed some deaths could be prevented if loadshedding comes to an end. He added that 35 per cent of those who had died were women. |

| #2 Rather presumptuous of you, Frank, assuming that because 35% were women that ALL the remaining 65% were men - what about the other 213 genders? |

| #1 He added that 35 per cent of those who had died were women So, 65% being men is OK? |
