Pakistan is reeling from widespread heavy flooding, with Punjab province bearing the brunt. Since late June, more than 1.3 million people have been displaced and over 3.3 million affected across 33,000 villages. Thousands of rescuers, military personnel and boats, have been mobilised, yet relief efforts lag far behind the scale of the disaster.

Over 2,000 villages now lie submerged, with vast swaths of farmland destroyed. Punjab’s agriculture, vital to national food security and exports, has been gutted, raising fears of food shortages, price spikes, and economic instability. The destruction is not just local; ripple effects are likely to hit the textile industry and Pakistan’s broader economy.

Tensions are mounting along the border as India warns of more floodwater releases into the Sutlej River, threatening nearby towns. With a vital water treaty between the nations suspended, coordination is minimal, leaving millions vulnerable.

Relief camps, housing only 40,000 people, remain overcrowded and under–resourced. Anger is also growing at tone–deaf official statements, with critics accusing leaders of ignoring the crisis’s gravity.
