Punjab, already bearing the brunt of the season, saw six more deaths and all 21 reported injuries, while one fatality each was recorded in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan.
The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) issued its latest figures on Sunday, offering a grim summary of the damage.
At least 676 people have been injured since the start of the rains. Countless homes have been damaged as floodwater is still pouring through villages, small towns, and fields, destroying whatever comes in the way.
Punjab has seen the worst of it. At least 151 people have died there. More than 500 have been hurt. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa isn’t far behind — 64 lives lost and dozens injured.
And the rain hasn’t stopped yet. Other provinces have also suffered, though to a lesser extent.
And with more rain in the forecast, the crisis is far from over. All 21 people injured during this period were from Punjab.
Since the start of the rainy season, at least 676 people have been injured across the country.
Homes have been damaged, families displaced, and livestock lost as rains and floods continue to affect many areas.
Punjab has suffered the most. So far, 151 people have died and 536 have been injured in the province. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has reported 64 deaths and 80 injuries.
In the northern regions, Gilgit-Baltistan has reported nine deaths and four injuries so far, while Azad Kashmir has lost two residents to the weather and seen ten others injured. Islamabad has confirmed eight deaths and three injuries.
Beyond the human toll, the property damage has been extensive. Just in the past day, 362 homes were reported damaged. The total number of affected homes has now climbed to 1,553. At least 374 livestock have also perished.
Moreover, rescue and relief efforts are ongoing, but with more rainfall forecast in the coming days, disaster management authorities have strongly advised citizens to take precautions, especially those in flood-prone or low-lying areas.
Monsoon rains are a routine part of South Asia’s climate and are essential for crop irrigation and replenishing water supplies.
However, their adverse impact has worsened in recent years due to rapid urban expansion, poor drainage systems, and more frequent extreme weather events linked to climate change.
