Current situation in Pakistan
Heavy rainfall in mid-August 2025 led to severe flash floods and landslides in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in northern Pakistan. At the end of August, the floods spread to Punjab, Pakistan's most populous province. Families lost their homes, their livelihoods and their access to clean water. People were swept away by the masses of water, over 800 lost their lives and tens of thousands were evacuated. At the beginning of September, three major rivers flooded simultaneously, converging in the Indus and threatening other regions. More than one million people will be affected by the consequences of the disaster.
- Numerous houses, stores, fields and cattle sheds have been destroyed.
- Roads and paths between villages and towns are impassable - access to markets, health facilities and schools is massively restricted.
- Several hydropower plants have been destroyed, causing the power supply to collapse.
- Drinking water supply systems have been destroyed, meaning that people are currently reliant on polluted rivers and streams - an acute health hazard.
