Islamabad, September 8, 2025 – The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has released alarming statistics on the devastating toll of this year’s monsoon season.
Since June 26, 2025, relentless rains and flash floods have claimed the lives of at least 910 people, underscoring the severity of the disaster and the urgent need for continued relief operations.
According to the NDMA, the victims include 241 children, 520 men, and 149 women across different provinces and regions of Pakistan. Punjab alone accounted for 234 fatalities, followed by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with 504 deaths, Sindh with 58, Balochistan with 26, Gilgit-Baltistan with 41, Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) with 38, and Islamabad Capital Territory with 9. The figures highlight how widespread the human toll of the floods has been, impacting both rural and urban populations.
In addition to the tragic loss of life, 1,044 people sustained injuries, including 315 children. Punjab again bore the brunt, with 654 injuries reported, while Khyber Pakhtunkhwa recorded 218, Sindh 78, Gilgit-Baltistan 52, AJK 34, Balochistan 5, and Islamabad 3. These injuries reflect the devastating physical impact of collapsing homes, fast-moving water, and landslides triggered by torrential rains.
The NDMA’s report also revealed the massive displacement caused by the disaster. A total of 2,408,299 individuals have been rescued through 4,594 coordinated operations nationwide. Punjab led with 2.26 million evacuations across 3,884 missions, followed by Sindh where 127,447 people were rescued, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with 14,317. Smaller but significant efforts were reported from Gilgit-Baltistan, AJK, Balochistan, and Islamabad, reflecting a truly nationwide rescue campaign.
In response to the crisis, the NDMA has partnered with the Pakistan Army and humanitarian agencies to distribute 173,569 relief items. These included tents, ration bags, blankets, hygiene kits, food packs, and safe drinking water. To aid recovery, equipment such as solar panels, de-watering pumps, and generators has also been supplied to communities ravaged by the floods.
The destruction of infrastructure and livelihoods has further deepened the crisis. At least 7,850 homes have been damaged, of which 1,945 were completely destroyed. The agricultural sector has also been hit hard, with the loss of 6,180 livestock—a blow to already vulnerable rural families who rely heavily on animals for sustenance and income.
To strengthen humanitarian support, the NDMA has established 2,326 relief and medical camps nationwide. Among them, 694 medical camps have treated nearly 200,000 patients suffering from injuries, waterborne diseases, and other health conditions worsened by the floods. Additionally, 1,632 relief camps have sheltered 85,856 people, providing them with food, water, and basic necessities in the aftermath of displacement.
The NDMA emphasized that while immediate rescue and relief operations remain ongoing, long-term recovery will require substantial resources and planning. Authorities warned that the impact of these floods extends beyond the loss of life and property, as displaced populations face mounting health risks, food insecurity, and economic hardship.
By publishing this detailed report, the NDMA aims to provide transparency about the scale of the disaster while mobilizing national and international support for affected communities. The Authority urged citizens to remain vigilant, follow safety advisories, and cooperate with rescue teams to minimize further loss of life.
