A Day Before

KARACHI - THE WET AND DARK METROPOLIS

Home to a bustling 16 million, now stranded without power or basic life support. Electricity, water, sewerage, transport and food distribution are all but gone.

It’s a scene from a ghastly Oliver Stone movie that could have been shot in places like Mogadishu or Darfur but is in fact Karachi. City’s authorities were not available for comments.
