She said that her father's health prevented him from helping with flood relief.

Taking to Twitter, Zardari's elder daughter disclosed that her father is facing certain COVID-related complications. "Water has reappeared in his lungs," she tweeted.

She added that the PPP leader had also undergone a procedure in Karachi.

Issuing updates about her father's condition, Bakhtawar said Asif Zardari was not physically able to take part in the flood relief efforts but his children are reaching the flood-hit areas and doing the relief work in his place.
