Since late June 2025, heavy pre-monsoon and monsoon rains have caused widespread flash and riverine flooding across Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, Balochistan, and Azad Kashmir

In Gilgit‑Baltistan, record temperatures (up to 48.5 °C) accelerated glacial melt, leading to the formation and bursting of unstable glacial lakes—triggering landslides and devastating flash floods

Rainfall in July 2025 was over 80% above average nationwide; in Punjab, totals reached 124% higher than the same period last year

Human Cost & Displacement
Latest reports confirm 178+ flood-related deaths since June 26, including 54 in the past 24 hours alone in Punjab

Earlier flash floods claimed at least 32 lives in northern Pakistan, with 16 children among the victims—drawing sharp criticism over delayed rescue efforts

Official tallies indicate 150+ total deaths, hundreds injured, and multiple people missing after flash flooding in northern and central provinces

Infrastructure and Agricultural Damage
In Swat, Abbottabad, Charsadda, Malakand, Shangla, Lower Dir, Torghar, dozens of homes were destroyed; roads washed out and communities cut off by landslides

Rescue teams like Rescue 1122, emergency services, paramilitary units—and even army helicopters—conducted evacuation operations, though officials acknowledged multiple operational failures

Authorities suspended several senior officials in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, ordered inquiries, and launched anti-encroachment crackdowns along rivers to prevent future disasters

Government Response & Criticism
The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) issued flood alerts, urged local disaster readiness, and advised tourists to avoid landslide-prone areas

A provincial inquiry led to the suspension of multiple officials implicated in poor emergency response during the Swat tragedies

Critics—including the federal Information Minister—called it a “governance failure”, blaming delays, incorrect leadership, and structural neglect for casualties in Swat and other areas

Context from Past Devastations
Past disasters—especially the 2022 floods—provide context: that crisis killed 1,700+ people, displaced 33 million, and caused $15–40 billion in economic losses

In 2022, nearly 2.1 million homes were damaged, tens of thousands of schools and health facilities were ruined, and infrastructure collapsed across provinces .
