Karachi, Pakistan has one of Asia’s largest slum populations. Fifty percent of the city’s inhabitants live in cramped, unhygienic conditions with poor access to water and medical care. Such conditions are a breeding ground for the spread of infectious diseases that are otherwise easily preventable. Urban Survivors is a multimedia project by Doctors Without Borders/ Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) in collaboration with the NOOR photo agency and Darjeeling Productions, highlighting the critical humanitarian and medical needs that exist in slums the world over.
