The conscience of the government is not dead; it is distributing wheat in the famine-struck areas of Balochistan, doing its best to eliminate this issue.

The death toll, however is rising all the same, a child or two dying each day.

This region of the country has been left untouched and uninterrupted for far too long. The ramifications of such negligence are disastrous, and must be coped with.

Efforts are being made to get the alarming rate of deaths under control. But effectiveness won't be visible until a significant amount of time of providing aid has elapsed.

The climate of the desert is to be held responsible, too. Because of the natural aridity of the landscape, the food production hasn't seen much success, adding to the problems of the farmers living there.

Medical facilities and doctors are being provided, the government claims.

A step has been taken in the right direction.

May these people be saved from the misery they are living in.
