The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has confirmed that at least 111 people have lost their lives and 212 others have been injured in rain-related incidents across Pakistan between June 26 and July 14.
The tragic toll underscores the growing dangers of this year’s monsoon season, particularly from flash floods and building collapses.
The NDMA report, released on Monday, highlights that flash flooding remains the leading cause of death during this period. In just the last 24 hours, six more fatalities were reported, reflecting the persistent threat posed by ongoing weather systems.

From urban flooding in Karachi to landslides in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and collapsing homes in Punjab, the monsoon has wreaked havoc across nearly all provinces. Dozens of structures have been damaged or destroyed, cutting off access to key areas and leaving families displaced.
Despite the human and infrastructural losses, the recent widespread rainfall has brought relief from weeks of intense heat, lowering temperatures across major cities.
However, the Pakistan Meteorological Department has warned of more torrential rains with wind and thunderstorms from July 15 to 17 nationwide.
The NDMA has urged provincial disaster management authorities to remain on high alert. Emergency rescue services have also been mobilized, particularly in flood-prone areas.
Citizens are advised to avoid unnecessary travel, secure their homes, and report hazards promptly.
