Rescuers call off search for 11 people presumed dead in Pakistan floods

PAKISTAN, AUG 3 – Monsoon floods have destroyed 562 homes and injured over 700 people, with Punjab most affected and relief operations ongoing, the National Disaster Management Authority said.

  • Since June 26, 2025, flash floods and heavy rains across Pakistan have resulted in the deaths of 299 individuals, among them 140 children, and have caused injuries to 715 others.
  • The widespread flooding resulted from heavy monsoon rains and shifting weather patterns exacerbated by climate change, with rainfall lower than usual in southern Pakistan.
  • The National Disaster Management Authority has responded with 223 rescue missions, helping evacuate 2,880 people, distributing 13,466 relief supplies, and setting up dozens of medical facilities where 577 individuals have received treatment to date.
  • The damage includes 1,676 houses affected, with 562 completely destroyed, and the deaths of 428 animals, further worsening the situation across several regions.
  • Weather officials forecast more rain in northern and central Pakistan from August 4 to 7 and advise continued precautions, especially in flood-prone and low-lying areas.
