The monsoon flood emergency in Pakistan has caused massive damage since June 26. Heavy rains and flash floods have affected many regions, leading to serious loss of life and property. According to the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), 234 people have died and 596 are injured so far. Over 800 homes are damaged across the country. In just the last 24 hours, 12 more lives were lost, including eight children.
Rescue and Relief Operations
Despite the challenges, rescue teams are working day and night. So far, over 62 operations have been completed. Around 450 people have been rescued from dangerous flood zones and landslides. To help families who lost everything, 27 relief camps are active. They are providing shelter, food, clean water, and basic medical help.
Babusar Faces Cloudburst Tragedy
One of the hardest-hit places is Babusar. A sudden cloudburst killed five people, including four tourists. Many others are still missing. Rescue efforts are ongoing, but bad weather is slowing things down. Authorities are asking tourists and locals to stay away from dangerous mountain areas for now.
More Rains Expected
The NDMA warns that more heavy rains, flash floods, and GLOFs may hit Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) soon. People in those areas or planning to travel there must stay alert. Avoiding travel during bad weather can save lives.
Call for Public Cooperation
Everyone is advised to follow weather reports, listen to rescue teams, and move to safer areas if told to do so. Staying prepared and alert is the best way to avoid danger during the monsoon season. Local authorities are also asking social media users to share only confirmed updates.
Loss Beyond Lives
Apart from human lives, many animals have died, bridges have broken, and roads are blocked. Families are being forced to leave their homes, carrying only what they can. The emotional and financial toll is high.
