Pakistan Flood: Pakistan is currently facing a severe flood disaster. Since the end of June 2025, the floods have claimed the lives of 299 people, including 140 children. This information was shared by the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) of Pakistan. In addition, more than 700 people have been injured, and the lives of thousands of families have been completely disrupted.
Flood Damages 1676 Houses
According to the NDMA, the floods across the country have damaged 1676 houses so far. Among these, 562 houses have been completely destroyed, while 1114 houses have been partially damaged. The flood has affected not only people's lives and homes but also their livelihoods. More than 400 livestock have died, dealing a major blow to the rural economy.
223 Relief and Rescue Operations
In this disaster situation, the NDMA has conducted 223 relief and rescue operations so far. Under these operations, more than 2880 people have been evacuated to safer places.

The NDMA says that the situation is being closely monitored and additional resources will be deployed if needed.
Weather Department Alert

Pakistan Constantly in the Grip of Disaster
In the past few years, Pakistan has been continuously experiencing the effects of climate change. Disasters such as excessive rainfall, flash floods, and landslides are now becoming common. Experts say that Pakistan needs to further strengthen its disaster management mechanism to better deal with such crises.
Public Life Severely Affected
The floods have not only caused loss of life and property but have also completely disrupted public life. Roads, bridges, and infrastructure have been severely damaged. Schools, hospitals, and markets have been closed. Electricity and communication services have also been affected in many areas.
