Islamabad: A second woman health worker injured in an attack on a polio vaccination team last month died in a hospital in Peshawar city of northwest Pakistan on Friday.

Sumbal Bibi sustained bullet injuries when the vaccination team was attacked by suspected militants at Badabher, a suburb of Peshawar, on May 28. She succumbed to her injuries in Lady Reading Hospital.
