Pakistan Floods 2025
Since June 2025, Pakistan has faced devastating monsoon floods that claimed nearly 1,000 lives, displaced over a million people, and destroyed thousands of homes and vital infrastructure. Massive rescue efforts saved over 33,000 people, established 17 tent cities for displaced families, and provided emergency shelters, food, clean water, and medical care, while volunteers and relief workers worked tirelessly across affected provinces. Now, as immediate rescue operations wind down, the focus will shift toward rebuilding: restoring homes, repairing schools and health facilities, strengthening water and sanitation systems, upgrading living conditions in the 17 tent cities, and supporting livelihoods to help families recover and prepare for future climate-driven disasters.
“Almost 985 deaths have been reported nationwide since June 26.”

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.
Punjab Flood Crisis and Ongoing Relief
Following the flood emergency declared by NDMA in Punjab, heavy monsoon rains and cross-border water releases submerged villages and damaged historic sites, including the Guru Nanak shrine. More than 210,000 people were displaced, and over 20,000 residents were evacuated from Lahore and other high-risk areas as the Ravi, Chenab, and Sutlej rivers rose to dangerous levels. Now the focus will shift toward restoring essential services, strengthening river embankments, repairing damaged infrastructure, and providing long-term rehabilitation support to affected families so communities can recover and prepare for future disasters.
