Author: Staff Report

FAISALABAD: The Pakistan’s tallest woman, Zainab Bibi, passed away on Thursday after suffering from osteoporosis and diabetes, at the Allied Hospital in Faisalabad.

Reportedly, aged 46, Zainab was 7 feet 2 inches tall, and in 2003, was named the world’s tallest woman in the Guinness Book of World Records.

While talking to a private news channel in 2017, she said that she was striving to make ends meet owing to her illness and lack of financial cooperation from the government.

Later, as promised by then-prime minister Nawaz Sharif, she was handed over a cheque worth Rs 2 million by the government to ease her plight.

Zainab hailed from Rajana area of Toba Tek Singh in Punjab.
