Pakistan's National Disaster Management Authority said 109 people have died nationwide since June 26. Many of the deaths were caused by collapsing houses and roofs, with nearly half reported in the northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province along the Afghan border. Rescue teams were seen pulling residents from flooded areas by boat and distributing food to those stranded. Syed Waqar Ul Hassan, a rescue official, said crews were working to reach people cut off by the water. "We have launched two boats currently and one is on the way," he said. "We have rescued over 100 people, and over 25 have been transported from the site." For some residents, help has been slow to arrive. Muhammad Ismail, a village resident, said his community was struggling without basic supplies. "There is no clean drinking water or electricity, and we also have a shortage of medicines," he said. "My daughter has been sick for the past two days, and I am trying to get her out of here." The update came a day after the disaster management authority reviewed flood preparedness across the country, discussing plans to issue timely warnings to communities along rivers so residents can move to safety or be evacuated before floodwaters hit. Last week, heavy rain lashed parts of the country, including Lahore, Pakistan's cultural capital, where several neighborhoods were flooded, forcing commuters into lengthy detours and drawing criticism from residents who questioned the government's preparedness. Authorities have warned in recent months that they cannot rule out a repeat of the extreme weather that triggered Pakistan's devastating 2022 floods, which submerged about a third of the country, killed 1,737 people and displaced millions.
