Flood in Pakistan Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan

Pakistan is once again battling the deadly consequences of extreme monsoon rains. Over the past 24 hours alone, 63 lives have been lost and 290 people injured across Punjab, with several districts now under a state of emergency. This monsoon season, as of 18 July 2025, has already claimed 299 lives and left 708 people injured nationwide — turning seasonal rains into a national disaster.

Entire villages lie submerged, families have lost everything, and roads, crops, and homes lie in ruin. As climate change intensifies, these once-rare catastrophes are becoming annual nightmares.

Why Is Pakistan So Vulnerable to Deadly Flooding?

Pakistan’s flood crisis isn’t just a matter of weather — it’s a complex combination of climate change, poor infrastructure, and policy gaps, as explained in Al Jazeera’s in-depth report (July 17, 2025) .

Here are the key reasons Pakistan faces devastating floods year after year:

  • Unpredictable and Extreme Monsoons:
    Climate change has made monsoon patterns increasingly erratic. Rainfall that once spread over weeks now falls in hours, overwhelming rivers, drains, and dams not built for such intensity.
  • Melting Glaciers in the North:
    Pakistan has over 7,000 glaciers — more than any country outside the polar regions. Rising temperatures are causing glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs), sending sudden torrents downstream that devastate villages and farmlands.
  • Rapid Urbanization Without Planning:
    Cities like Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi have expanded rapidly without proper drainage infrastructure. Green belts have turned into concrete jungles, and natural waterways have been blocked, causing urban flooding even during moderate rains.
  • Deforestation and Poor Land Use:
    Illegal logging and land encroachment have stripped many flood-prone areas of natural barriers. With no tree cover or wetlands to absorb excess water, floods hit harder and faster.

Chakwal

Punjab’s Chakwal district was hit by an intense cloudburst, resulting in an extraordinary 400mm of rainfall within just 10 hours, as reported by the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA). The sudden deluge led to flash floods, inundating large parts of the area and causing widespread disruption and damage.

While the official 8am rainfall report showed 142mm over 24 hours, the PDMA later clarified in a separate statement that actual rainfall levels were significantly higher.

Rawalpindi

Rawalpindi faced severe urban flooding due to heavy rains and inadequate drainage systems. The overflowing Sawan River prompted emergency alerts and necessitated helicopter-assisted rescue operations. In response, Alkhidmat Foundation established relief camps and installed water pumps in coordination with local authorities to support affected communities.
