PESHAWAR: An eight-month-old child was bitten to death by a rat in Hassan Garhi area of Peshawar on Thursday.

According to Qari Khalid, a rat bit his son Huzaifa's face and nose while all were asleep.

“When I woke up I saw a big rat run from the room,” he said, adding that he found his only son lying in a pool of blood.

“The rat killed my son,” the grieving father said.

He said that they were shocked to see the child bleeding profusely and rushed Huzaifa to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival by doctors.

Khalid, who works as a daily wager, said his son was sleeping right next to him, and he was so tired after his day of work that he did not notice the rat during the night.

Local resident Malik told DawnNews that after the 2010 flood the area has been facing a serious rat infestation.

So far five children have died after being bitten by rats.

sad case of five children dying of rat bite.

though i don't precisely know the site, it cannot be denied that the chaotic and non-harmonious nature of subcontinental towns allow rats and other vermin to breed and their natural cleansers, the cats, to not.

also, floods in 2010 but this case happening in 2016... the op has indeed correctly pointed to the non-efficiency of the regional administration.

But but metros and trains and buses are more important than human life! Who needs sanitation, food, health care, jobs, electricity when you have metros to ride in while rats crawl on your face.

I swear sometimes I feel every leadership does its best with aim to ruin things for country and its people. And the people love to be victims of their apathy. Well deserving of each other.

Agreed... The govt. is corrupt to the core....

The true rats are NS and his relatives whom he's filled in the courts and every single other institution in the country, except front-line combat.

Its meant for overall political leaderships with their goals else where. PPP inaugurates hospital/ clinic in Karachi with protocol not allowing its very first patient in who dies. And really don't tell me Lahore cant use educational and health departments more over transport
