Climate-driven health crises in Pakistan and India

Overview

In late July 2026, Pakistan faced a dual crisis of deadly monsoon flooding and a significant surge in malaria cases. In the Badin district of Sindh province, confirmed malaria cases rose from 31,861 to 47,064, a trend attributed to extreme weather and warmer temperatures. The monsoon death toll reached 113 people, with authorities warning of further urban flooding and landslide risks in northern regions.

By late August, reports indicated a broader rise in mosquito-borne diseases, including dengue, malaria, and chikungunya, across both Pakistan and India. Experts noted that changing weather patterns and rapid urbanization are allowing these infections to persist beyond traditional monsoon seasons. Beyond mosquito-borne illnesses, the monsoon season continues to increase risks for typhoid, gastroenteritis, and respiratory infections due to contaminated water supplies and stagnant water.
