Pakistan Floods 2025: Live Updates
Ongoing Flood Emergency in Punjab
One of the worst flood seasons in decades is unfolding in Punjab, prompting mass evacuations and widespread devastation.
Over 900,000 civilians and 600,000 livestock have been rescued from flood-affected areas. Many are displaced.
The floodwaters have submerged more than 3,100 villages, crippling livelihoods and infrastructure.
Human and Health Toll
The latest verified death toll in Punjab stands at 33, with over 2 million people affected across the province.
Across Pakistan, floods and rain-related incidents have claimed 849 lives since late June, including flash floods and landslides in KP, notably in Swat and Buner.
Authorities are on high alert for disease outbreaks—cholera, malaria, hepatitis, and skin infections—due to contaminated water sources.
Evacuation and Rescue Operations
Drone-assisted and aerial rescue missions are ongoing in multiple districts.
In a rare humanitarian collaboration, India and Pakistan are coordinating air rescue efforts, deploying over 20 aircraft to support operations.
Economic Impact Looms Large
Vast swathes of Punjab’s agricultural belt—thousands of farms and villages—are lost, raising alarms about longer-term food security and economic recovery.
