Hundreds of Pakistanis who returned home from a pilgrimage to
Iran are stuck in filthy coronavirus quarantine camps with limited medical care, and fear squalid conditions are helping spread the disease.
Speaking to AFP, current and former residents of Taftan camp on the border with Iran said the facility lacks running water or flushable toilets, with detainees only able to wash every few days.
Government figures show half of the 241 confirmed cases of novel coronavirus in
Pakistan are in people who went on pilgrimages to Iran -- one of the countries hardest-hit by the disease.
