Since June 2022, floods in Pakistan have killed at least 1,136 people. The floods were caused by heavier than usual monsoon rains and melting glaciers that followed a severe heat wave all of which are linked to climate change. It is the world's deadliest flood since the 2017 South Asian floods.[6] On 25 August, Pakistan declared a state of emergency because of the flooding.[7] By 29 August, Pakistan's Minister of Climate Change said around "one-third" of country was underwater, affecting 33 million people.[8][1] The Government of Pakistan has estimated the loss of $10 billion USD so far from floodings across the country.[3]

In August 2022, six military officers were killed in a helicopter crash during a flood relief operation. Flash flooding has also occured in nearby bordering areas of India, Afghanistan and Bangladesh.[9][10][11]

Background

Further information: Climate change in Pakistan

In August 2022, Pakistan received higher rainfall than usual, with the provinces of Sindh receiving 784% and Balochistan 500% more than the usual August average.[12] Higher than average monsoon rains were also recorded in India and Bangladesh.[13] The Indian Ocean is one of the fastest warming regions in the world, warming by an average of 1°C (as opposed to the global warming average of 0.7°C).[13] The rise in sea surface temperatures is believed to increase monsoon rainfall.[14][13] In addition, southern Pakistan experienced back-to-back heat waves in May and June, which were record setting and themselves made more likely by climate change.[15] These created a strong thermal low that brought heavier rains than usual.[14] The heatwaves also triggered glacial flooding in Gilgit Baltistan.[15]

Impact

In total, 1,136 people have been confirmed dead,[1][2] with an additional 1,634 injured.[2] Over 300,000 people are still living in temporary camps, as of August 2022, because of the floods.[16] These are the deadliest floods in Pakistan since 2010, when nearly 2,000 died in flooding,[17] and the deadliest in the world since the 2017 South Asian floods.[6] Finance Minister of Pakistan, Miftah Ismail said that the floods had inflicted at least $10 billion USD (or 2,206 trillion PKR) of damage on Pakistan.[3][4][5] Minister of Climate Change Sherry Rehman said on 29 August that "one-third" of the country was underwater, and there was "no dry land to pump the water out," adding that it was a "crisis of unimaginable proportions".[8][1] Agricultural fields were also devastated by the water.[1]

Damaged houses per district

Heavy monsoon rainfall and floods have affected 30 million people in Pakistan since mid-June, destroying nearly 218,000 houses and damaging hundreds of thousands more.[6][18][19] Sindh and Balochistan are the two most affected provinces in terms of human and infrastructure impact. More than 700,000 livestock have been killed,[6] most of them in the province of Balochistan, while destruction to over 3,600 km of roads and 145 bridges has impeded access across flood-affected areas.[18] Over 17,560 schools were damaged or destroyed as well.[18] At the request of the Balochistan Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA), a multisectoral rapid needs assessment was undertaken in 10 districts of Balochistan to identify priority needs and gaps across sectors. Humanitarian partners are supporting the government-led response in affected areas, redirecting existing resources to meet the most urgent needs while working to further scale up the response.[citation needed]
