All of this has left many people struggling to feed their families, and as Al Jazeera's Imran Khan reports, it has driven some people to take a desperate step.

  • THANKS TO THE  IMF

  • Just how much money the president and his ministers have stolen from Pakistan is inconceivable...Every penny that was supposed to go towards making Pakistanis self sufficient has been embezzled by Zardari and his cohorts...How can people survive like this? These ministers and senators who come from ultra rich families can never sympathize with the common people and instead feed their own coffers regardless of how many die...

  • @MrIndoCanadian You are an Indian Hindu...We know you don't care...No need to tell us...

  • @InfidelAdvocate Yeh, which makes it such a shame that so many people reject DNA and Evolution.

  • @digitalcntrl I wonder what will happen when there would be no demand for oil? Oil is responsible for the environment deterioration and very soon alternate technologies will reduce the demand for oil.Then what will happen to Saudi Arabia..I guess they will again become nomands and sell dates..and camels's milk.

  • Why would you have kids if you lived in such conditions? What do these people live for? I'd be pretty pissed off if I lived in that shithole!

  • This is your own choice, no one can do anything, remeber the famous words of bhutto " EAT GRASS MAKE BOMB" not a single ruler of this country has ever thought of common ppl, they all are warmongers, country's 70% budget goes to diffence, only 2 % in education,
