Islamabad, July 13, 2025: At least 104 people have died and over 200 sustained injuries in monsoon-related incidents in Pakistan since June 26, according to the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA). The ongoing Pakistan monsoon floods have wreaked havoc across the country, affecting both life and infrastructure.
The NDMA reported that the dead include 49 children, 37 men, and 18 women. Torrential rains caused building collapses, flash floods, and road accidents in major cities and rural regions alike. Over 10.5 km of roads and 9 bridges have been damaged. Additionally, 135 houses were destroyed and 278 were partially damaged, while 111 livestock deaths were recorded.
The NDMA has ordered provincial and local authorities to step up emergency and relief operations, stressing the urgency of coordinated action. “This crisis demands rapid response and long-term resilience planning,” said an NDMA official.
New Monsoon Spell Raises Flood Risk Across Pakistan
A new monsoon system in Pakistan is expected to bring heavy rainfall from July 13 to 17, affecting regions like Punjab, KP, Islamabad, Kashmir, and eastern Balochistan. The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has issued a severe weather and flood alert, warning of riverine and flash flooding in vulnerable zones.
Water levels are projected to rise in the Indus, Kabul, Jhelum, and Chenab rivers, especially at Tarbela, Kala Bagh, Chashma, and Taunsa. Areas like Guddu Barrage, Marala, Khanki, and Nowshera are also on watch for possible flooding.
