Heavy monsoon rainfall has caused widespread flooding in several parts of Punjab, leaving villages and homes underwater and forcing families to evacuate using boats as water levels continue to rise.
People in the affected areas are facing shortages of food, safe drinking water, and electricity while awaiting rescue and relief assistance. According to official disaster management data, flood-related incidents have claimed 109 lives across Pakistan since June 26, with Punjab recording a large proportion of the fatalities.
Rescue teams and volunteers remain engaged in evacuation and relief operations as authorities closely monitor the evolving situation. Experts caution that climate change is intensifying monsoon patterns, increasing the likelihood of more frequent and severe extreme weather events.
