The situation deteriorated as a result of power cuts throughout the country and constant fasting in the holy month of Ramadan, during which many Muslims do not eat or drink for hours.
As the heat wave continues, people there are being advised to stay indoors and avoid heat, the newspaper reports.
The heat wave has also reached central and northern India. The temperatures are expected to remain high by the coming rains, which are expected to come in early June in southern India to continue in the north throughout the month, which coincide with the end of Ramadan on 14 June.
This is not the first time people in Karachi have endured such intense heat. A hot wave came in 2015 to the city, where temperatures reached 45 degrees Celsius, killing at least 1,300 people, including many sick and elderly people.
