In this photograph taken on June 11, 2024, Neha Mankani, a midwife speaks during an interview with AFP as she sits near the shoreline at Baba Island along the Karachi Harbour, in Karachi. On a densely populated island off Pakistan's megacity of Karachi, a group of pregnant women wait in a punishing heatwave for the only midwife to arrive from the mainland.
Each week Neha Mankani comes by boat ambulance to Baba, an old fishing settlement and reportedly one of the world's most crowded islands with some 6,500 people crammed into 0.15 square kilometres. (Photo by Rizwan TABASSUM / AFP) / TO GO WITH 'Pakistan-Climate-Health-Women' FOCUS
