Pakistan monsoon floods death toll climbs to 108
Entities: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province · National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) · Chenab River · Ravi River · Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA)
Overview
Heavy monsoon rains continue to devastate Pakistan. The National Disaster Management Authority now reports that the cumulative death toll from floods, landslides and related incidents has risen to at least 108, up from 97 earlier in the week, with 344 people injured. The latest figures also list 447 houses damaged and 269 livestock killed.
Provincial Disaster Management Authority officials warn that the Chenab and Ravi rivers are expected to reach medium‑to‑high flood levels within 24 hours, threatening dozens of districts. A glacial‑lake‑outburst‑flood alert has been issued for northern districts including Chitral, Upper Kohistan, Swat and Upper Dir.
Roughly 400 sq km of land in Punjab have been inundated, roads are disrupted and thousands of homes are affected. Water releases from India’s Bhakra Dam have increased downstream flows, adding to flood concerns in Pakistan’s western provinces.
River gauges continue to show rising levels, prompting controlled releases from upstream dams in India. Relief camps, rescue teams and provincial disaster agencies persist with evacuation, aid distribution and drone monitoring to provide early warnings for flash floods, hill‑torrent surges and urban inundation. Authorities urge residents to avoid flood‑prone areas and stay alert for further thunderstorms.
