Gilgit-Baltistan has already reported over 800 cases. . Gilgit-Baltistan has only two old model ventilators and the region has not received any medical aid and supplies from the Pakistani government to counter the grave situation.

“Only two ventilators available in Gilgit-Baltistan and Pakistan and China have started the construction of USD 14 billion Diamer-Basha Dam today. This clearly shows that the Pakistani military or civil governments do not care about our people”, tweeted Dr Amjad Ayub Mirza, a human rights activist from PoK.

“They (government) receive funds and donations, but they use those funds for their own purpose and not for the welfare of people. However, they do not realize that it is the people who have mandated them to power and position. I hereby request the authorities to pay attention to this region, which was already deprived of rights. Now with coronavirus, the unemployment has grown massively,” said Mohammad Bakar Mehedi, a lawyer based in Astore.
