Flooding Displaces More Than 1 Million in Pakistan

HeadlineAug 29, 2025

More than a million people have been displaced in Pakistan after the worst flooding in more than four decades. Monsoon rain and the release of water from overflowing dams in India caused three major rivers to burst their banks, destroying crops and businesses in the region and flooding more than 1,400 villages in Punjab province. Since June, the floods have killed more than 800 people in Pakistan.
