Torrential monsoon rains have triggered devastating flash floods across various parts of Pakistan, killing dozens and displacing thousands. The most severely affected areas include Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, and parts of Punjab, where overflowing rivers and landslides have swept away homes, roads, and infrastructure.
Rescue operations are underway, with the military and emergency services working tirelessly to evacuate stranded residents and provide relief to affected communities. Many people remain missing, and the death toll is feared to rise as access to remote areas improves.
Authorities have urged citizens living in low-lying or flood-prone zones to relocate to safer areas, as more rain is forecasted in the coming days. The government has also appealed for immediate humanitarian aid to support rescue efforts and assist the displaced.
This disaster once again highlights the country’s vulnerability to climate-related events and the urgent need for improved infrastructure and disaster preparedness.
