Over 2,200 villages are impacted, thousands evacuated, and livestock lost as heavy monsoon rains, worsened by climate change, wreak devastation. Times Now
Pakistan reels from its worst floods in decades — over 850 dead, 1,100 injured. Entire villages washed away, families left homeless, crops and livestock destroyed. A humanitarian crisis unfolds.
TRANSCRIPT
Visuals that have surfaced show people climbing onto rescue boats and sailing across fully submerged farmlands to
0:06
safety. Others were seen loading belongings into boats trying to salvage whatever remained from damages
0:14
in their homes which have now been abandoned.
0:19
We fear thieves. We don't want to abandon our animals. The water is rising fast. There are about 300 villages in
0:27
this area. We don't know where we'll go or when
0:33
we'll come back. Everything we built is underwater.
0:40
Even as rescue operations continue, nearly half a million people have been displaced so far by flooding in eastern
0:46
Pakistan. Rising waters from the Ravi, Satloj, and Chennab rivers have
0:52
destroyed thousands of houses in the Punjab province. In Lahore, displaced people have been forced to take shelter
0:58
in makeshift tent camps.
1:06
The flood waters have risen alarmingly high, almost reaching one and a half stories. The water came so swiftly that
1:13
we couldn't salvage any of our belongings. Now the area is inaccessible due to the water level and we are forced
1:19
to live in tents on the road, unable to return home.
1:24
Pakistan is grappling with one of its most devastating monsoon seasons in
1:29
recent history with torrential rains and surging rivers triggering widespread flooding. Now the eastern province of
1:36
Punjab villages have been submerged. Over 200,000 people have been displaced
1:41
so far in the country. In Naru district residents are waiting through chest deep
1:47
flood waters. The relentless monsoon rains have turned streets into rivers and rivers into a threat few were
1:54
prepared for. The Gart Sahab Gard, one of the holiest sites in the Sik region,
2:00
has also been engulfed by flood waters. Three major rivers. The Chennam Ravi and
2:06
Satluch have swollen to dangerous levels forcing communities to flee.
2:14
This is first time we are seeing this kind of flood water never seen before. God willing, when the water recedes, we
2:21
will return to our homes. We left our animals. God willing, this is a temporary problem. The situation will
2:27
become better soon. On the 24th of August, India alerted
2:33
Pakistan about possible crossborder flooding, prompting Islamabad to issue a warning. Rescue operations are underway.
2:41
Pakistan's army has been deployed across Punjab to assist with rescue efforts.
2:47
Rescuers have been stationed in near Lahar's Ravi bridge after authorities
2:52
blew up an embankment at the Kadiraabad Dam on the Chennab River to redirect the
2:58
rising waters and protect dams structure.
3:04
Rising water levels in the Ravi River pose a very high risk with people facing difficult conditions as the 2025 flood
3:12
is reported to surpass the 1988 floods.
3:17
Since late June, over 800 lives have been lost nationwide and 150 are still
3:22
missing due to rain related disasters. Well, devastating floods in Pakistan's
3:29
Punjab province have claimed at least 17 lives in a single day and impacted more
3:34
than 1 million people in the country. Floods have killed over 800 people in the country since late June with more
3:41
than 1600 villages submerged and over a million people having been evacuated
3:46
from their homes in Punjab province which is experiencing its worst flooding in four decades. Torrential monsoon
3:54
rains and the release of excess water from dams in India have swelled three
3:59
rivers flowing into the eastern province.
4:06
So far 1,692 villages across Punjab are underwater affecting approximately
4:12
1,6166 individuals directly impacted and facing various problems.
4:20
Residents of a village in Punjab's Mandi Bahudin
4:27
district pleaded for urgent rescue as flood waters destroyed houses, wiped out
4:32
crowds and crops beg pardon and killed livestock in this region.
4:40
Many families are stranded here and the sudden flood waters caught us off guard. Unfortunately, there was no prior
4:48
warning or support from the administration. No transportation or rescue arrangements were made, leaving
4:54
us without access to boats or aid. Families are anxious and the situation
5:00
is dire. We've tried calling emergency numbers, but no one is responding. If
5:05
the water rises further, the danger will intensify.
5:13
All our pots for cooking and eating food. Our knitted beds that we slept on have drowned and are now destroyed. The
5:20
dowry furniture for my daughter that I had bought with difficulty is all gone. Our storage boxes are full of mud and
5:27
dirty water. Everything is right there destroyed in front of you.
5:36
Punjab province which is home to half of Pakistan's population and a major producer of wheat, rice and cotton
5:43
remains hardest hit. India which rout routinely releases water from dams when
5:49
they overflow. Even issued three flood warnings to Pakistan this week itself
5:54
calling them a humanitarian measure. And the catastrophic floods continue to wreak havoc in Pakistan as well. 820
6:01
people in the country have lost their lives this year in various rain related incidents. On Friday in eastern
6:06
Pakistan, flood waters hit the outskirts of the country's second biggest city, Lahore, and threatened to submerge the
6:12
major town of Jang in the worst flooding in almost 40 years in that part of the country.
6:20
Water entered my home suddenly. We had no idea. We were in the house when suddenly there were announcements made
6:26
to leave the house. But where would I go after leaving my house? I live in a rented home already. So I decided to
6:33
stay. All my neighbors left.
6:39
Flood waters from the overflowing Ravi River have submerged homes in Shadra town near Lahore, displacing dozens of
6:44
families. Now many have taken shelter in an elementary school on higher ground where doctors are treating them for
6:50
flood related skin infections.
6:58
As you can see, our homes have collapsed, the walls have fallen, and everything is damaged. Our family has
7:04
had to leave the house. The flood has caused serious hardship and heavy losses. We've taken our animals and
7:10
moved to the other side, away from our home that was hit by the floods.
7:18
In Punjab province, rescue teams were seen navigating through muddy waters to restranded people and livestock in
7:24
flooded villages. The eastern province homeoped to over half of Pakistan's population has been severely impacted by
7:29
the flooding. At least 12 people have died here in floods so far. Pakistan has evacuated more than 1 million people
7:36
this week in the east of the country. Now according to a report among the 800 victims of floods, 200 are children. Ky
7:42
Patunwa has borne the brunt of the disaster with flash floods and landslides destroying homes and schools.
7:48
Meanwhile, Punjab is grappling with rising water levels in the Satlo Shravi and Chennab rivers. In Girgit,
7:54
Baltistasan glacia lake outbursts have wre havoc on homes, power lines and water systems. Now, experts warn that
8:00
climate change is fueling these cat, pardon me, these catastrophes making them more frequent and intense. The
8:06
situation is dire with hundreds of lives lost and many more affected.

1,6166 individuals directly impacted and facing various problems.
32:21
Residents of a village in Punjab's Mandi Bahudin
32:28
district pleaded for urgent rescue as flood waters destroyed houses wiped out
32:33
crowds and crops beg pardon and killed livestock in this region.
32:42
Many families are stranded here and the sudden flood waters caught us off guard. Unfortunately, there was no prior
32:49
warning or support from the administration. No transportation or rescue arrangements were made, leaving
32:55
us without access to boats or aid. Families are anxious and the situation
33:01
is dire. We've tried calling emergency numbers, but no one is responding. If
33:06
the water rises further, the danger will intensify.
33:15
All our pots for cooking and eating food. Our knitted beds that we slept on have drowned and are now destroyed. The
33:21
dowry furniture for my daughter that I had bought with difficulty is all gone. Our storage boxes are full of mud and
33:28
dirty water. Everything is right there destroyed in front of you.
33:37
Punjab province which is home to half of Pakistan's population and a major producer of wheat, rice and cotton
33:44
remains hardest hit. India which rout routinely releases water from dams when
33:50
they overflow. Even issued three flood warnings to Pakistan this week itself
33:55
calling them a humanitarian measure. And the catastrophic floods continue to wreak havoc in Pakistan as well. 820
34:02
people in the country have lost their lives this year in various rain related incidents. On Friday in eastern
34:08
Pakistan, flood waters hit the outskirts of the country's second biggest city, Lahore, and threatened to submerge the
34:13
major town of Chang in the worst flooding in almost 40 years in that part of the country.
34:21
Water entered my home suddenly. We had no idea. We were in the house when suddenly there were announcements made
34:27
to leave the house. But where would I go after leaving my house? I live in a rented home already. So I decided to
34:34
stay. All my neighbors left.
34:40
Flood waters from the overflowing Ravi River have submerged homes in Shadra town near Lahore, displacing dozens of
34:46
families. Now many have taken shelter in an elementary school on higher ground where doctors are treating them for
34:51
flood related skin infections.
34:59
As you can see, our homes have collapsed. The walls have fallen and everything is damaged.
