There was a huge blast at the Shah Noorani Shrine in Hub, Balochistan today leading to a huge number of casualties. The Shah Noorani Shrine is located near the border of Khuzdar and Lasbela districts. This blast comes only months after a huge blast at a hospital in Quetta claimed the lives of many lawyers in the province.
So far it has been reported that over 50 people have been killed and over 200 hundred are injured. Hospitals in Karachi and Quetta have been reportedly put on high alert due to expectation of a huge number of patients coming in.
Pakistanis are understandably upset about the blast and many have questions about the continuous game of cat-and-mouse suffered by everyday folks:
People have questions for the authorities, for the government, for the world and even for themselves. With the whole world literally crumbling around everyone, people are obviously distraught about the way things will shape up in the future.
There are some very valid questions:
