Flood Relief Donation 2025: Every contribution is valuable

Since late June 2025, Pakistan has been hit by one of the most devastating flood seasons in decades. Torrential monsoon rains, accelerated glacier melt, and upstream river releases have combined to create a nationwide disaster.

More than 800–900 lives lost, including hundreds of children. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab remain the worst-hit, with districts like Buner reporting over 150 deaths alone. Thousands more are injured or missing.
The floods have displaced over 1 million people in Punjab, while another 250,000 people have been forced to flee in eastern Punjab. Nationwide, more than 210,000 people are displaced, with evacuation operations ongoing.
More than 1,400 villages inundated, particularly in Punjab’s farming belt, submerging crops and livestock. In Lahore and other cities, tens of thousands were evacuated due to urban flooding.
Damage to Homes & Infrastructure: Over 4,000 homes destroyed or damaged. Key infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and even religious sites like Kartarpur Sahib, has been damaged. Relief and medical camps are stretched thin, with hundreds of camps set up to accommodate the displaced.

Experts point to 15% above-average rainfall, rapid glacier melt, poor urban planning, and cross-border river surges as the main drivers. Climate change has magnified the frequency and intensity of floods, leaving communities vulnerable year after year.
