Study projects heat-related deaths in Pakistan due to limited cooling access
Most outlets reported on a study projecting thousands of heat-related deaths in Pakistan due to limited access to cooling, with a focus on the number of projected annual deaths (150,000) and the role of air conditioning.

ProPakistani led with the death toll and attributed it directly to the lack of ACs in homes, using more direct language than the others.
