At Guddu and Sukkur barrages, water inflows have declined compared to previous days, while Punjab’s PDMA confirmed normal flows in the Indus, Chenab, and Ravi rivers. Medium flooding persists in the Sutlej and Panjnad.
In Sindh, over 173,000 people have been evacuated so far, with 469 still living in relief camps. Authorities continue to provide food, clean water, healthcare, and livestock support. More than 450,000 cattle have been rescued, and veterinary teams have vaccinated over 1.3 million animals.
At the federal level, officials reported nearly 980 deaths and over 1,100 injuries since June. Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal announced that a preliminary damage report will be available within 10 days and stressed that verified figures should be awaited. International aid is also arriving, with contributions from the US, UK, and Singapore.
Authorities highlighted climate change as a major factor behind the scale of flooding, citing irregular monsoon patterns and glacier melt. The government is preparing a 300-day plan to reduce future risks.
