More than a billion people across south Asia are facing a record-breaking heat wave which leaves them 'gasping in whatever shade they find'.
Temperatures in northern India and Pakistan have spiked to 47 degrees Celsius after Pakistan suffered its hottest March for 61 years.
Pakistan's minister for climate change asked local officials today to prepare for flash flooding and a flurry of heatstroke patients in the country's hospitals.
Sherry Rehman also mobilised disaster response teams to prepare for flooding as ice from Himalayan glaciers continues to melt at alarming rates.
