Since late June 2025, Pakistan has been experiencing severe monsoon rains and flash floods that have resulted in widespread devastation and loss of life across multiple provinces. Initial flash floods in the Swat River area of northwest Pakistan swept away dozens of tourists, including entire families, with early reports indicating at least eight deaths and several missing. Over the following days, the death toll from floods and related incidents rose steadily, with multiple families affected, including one with 18 members swept away and 12 bodies recovered. By early July, the cumulative fatalities from the ongoing monsoon floods had reached at least 46, including 13 family members. The situation worsened dramatically in mid-July when torrential rains struck Punjab province, leading to at least 63 deaths within 24 hours, bringing the total deaths since late June to nearly 180, with more than half being children. Rescue operations involving army helicopters and boats were deployed to assist those stranded by rising waters. The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) reported 221 monsoon rain-related deaths nationwide by late July, with 491 people injured. Severe flooding and landslides have caused extensive damage in Punjab, Islamabad, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Azad Kashmir, with many urban and rural areas submerged. Authorities have issued multiple flood and rain alerts, including a 'rain emergency' declaration in Punjab. Weather forecasts indicate that heavy monsoon rains are expected to continue in the coming days, exacerbating the ongoing humanitarian crisis. The floods have also triggered secondary incidents such as vehicles being swept away, including one in Hassan Abdal carrying 10 family members. The ongoing monsoon season has thus become one of the deadliest in recent years for Pakistan, with children constituting a large proportion of the casualties.
