09 September 2025

By 9 September 2025, monsoon floods in Pakistan had affected 5.6 million people, creating a fast-escalating humanitarian crisis since rains began on 26 June. At least 910 people have died, including over 500 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and 234 in Punjab, while more than 2.1 million have been displaced. Nearly 6,000 homes have been damaged and 2,000 destroyed, leaving thousands without shelter. Punjab is the worst hit, with 4.1 million people across 4,100 villages severely affected. In Sindh, more than 100,000 people have been evacuated as authorities monitor rising Indus River inflows that threaten downstream communities. The floods have generated urgent needs in shelter, food, health, WASH, and psychosocial support. Rainfall between June–August already exceeded seasonal averages, overwhelming soil and drainage systems, while forecasts for 8–14 September indicate above-normal rains in parts of Balochistan, Gilgit-Baltistan, Punjab, and Sindh, likely worsening the crisis.

19 August 2025

Between 14–16 August 2025, intense monsoon rains triggered flash floods, cloudbursts, and landslides, particularly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province and Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) region, killing more than 300 people, including over 180 in KP alone. Since 26 June, the impact of monsoon-triggered hazards has been severe across the country, with over 2,700 houses destroyed or damaged, 587 livestock lost, 124 bridges washed away, and nearly 450km of roads rendered impassable. By 19 August, nationwide casualties had risen to 695 deaths and 958 injuries. The worst-affected areas include Azad Jammu and Kashmir, GB, KP, and Punjab, where heavy monsoon rains have cut off many communities and hampered response operations. There is a heightened risk of disease outbreaks from contaminated water sources and disrupted WASH facilities, raising urgent health concerns. With the monsoon expected to remain active and a westerly wave approaching, the risk of further flooding and landslides remains elevated. (ECHO accessed 19/08/2025, IR 16/08/2025, AJ 15/08/2025)

22 July 2025

Between 26 June and 16 July 2025, floods across Pakistan killed at least 216 people, injured 562, and displaced 3,250, affecting around 5,000. The disaster has severely affected livelihoods, destroying crops and killing livestock. The monsoon season is expected to bring more heavy rain, increasing the risk of floods and landslides, particularly in the country’s northern and eastern regions.

On 10 May 2025, India and Pakistan reached a temporary ceasefire agreement, ending four days of fighting following the Indian-administered 22 April Pahalgam (Kashmir) attack. The clashes killed at least 46 civilians, injured over 90, and forced thousands to flee their homes. Despite the truce, residents remain anxious, fearing that violence could resume if the agreement fails. (Reuters 10/05/2025, AJ 12/05/2025, IR 09/05/2025)
