Pakistan Flood Emergency

Since late June, devastating monsoon rains, made more intense and unpredictable by climate change, have swept across Pakistan, claiming hundreds of lives and leaving entire communities in ruins

In just the past few days, an extreme cloudburst has struck Buner, Bajaur, and Battagram districts in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, unleashing a new wave of destruction. Thousands of homes have been washed away, farmland submerged, and countless families left displaced and vulnerable.

In Buner District families were torn apart overnight as sudden cloudbursts swept away entire communities

 

More than 500 people have died, and over 671 have been injured; a grim reminder that extreme weather, driven by a changing climate, is striking harder and more frequently than ever before.

The need for swift, coordinated, and compassionate relief has never been greater.

The scale of destruction is staggering:

Over 4,054

animals have been swept away.

2,700 houses

destroyed and 413 partially damaged.

6 government schools

and 2 police stations completely washed away.

3 government hospitals

partially damaged and struggling to provide care.

4 bridges

severely damaged, with 2 completely collapsed, cutting off entire villages.

127 shops

destroyed and 824 partially damaged.

639 vehicles

damaged beyond repair.

Financial losses

are already estimated at over PKR 20 billion.
