What FACTLY found

The image actually shows patients being treated for typhoid in villages near the Maharashtra-Gujarat border. These patients are being treated under tents with bare minimum medical facilities as the hospitals are filled with COVID-19 patients. Multiple regional news outlets have reported this. This image has nothing to do with Pakistan.
