2022 Pakistan floods
Satellite imagery showing a side-by-side comparison of southern Pakistan on 27 August 2021 (one year before the floods) and 27 August 2022
Date14 June 2022 – present
LocationBalochistan, Gilgit-Baltistan, southern parts of Punjab, Sindh, Azad Kashmir, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
CauseHeavy monsoon rains, climate change
Deaths1,191 (as of 31 August 2022)[1]
Non-fatal injuries3,554 (as of 31 August 2022)[2]
Property damageUS$10 billion (estimates)[3][4][5]

Since June 2022, floods in Pakistan have killed at least 1,191 people, including 399 children.[1] 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] and described as the worst in the country's history.[7] On 25 August, Pakistan declared a state of emergency because of the flooding.[8] By 29 August, Pakistan's minister of climate change said around 'one-third' of the country was underwater, affecting 33 million people.[9][10] The Government of Pakistan has estimated the loss of US$10 billion so far from floodings across the country.[3]

The European Space Agency confirmed via satellite pictures more than a third of Pakistan is currently submerged.[11]

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 and Afghanistan.[12][13][14]

Background

Further information: Climate change in Pakistan

The minister of climate change of Pakistan, Sherry Rehman, said that the provinces of Sindh and Balochistan had received more rainfall than the August average, with 784% and 500% more, respectively.[15][16] Higher than average monsoon rains were also recorded in India and Bangladesh.[17] The Indian Ocean is one of the fastest warming oceans in the world, warming by an average of 1 °C (34 °F) (while worldwide temperatures are now at 1.2 °C (34.2 °F) above pre-industrial temperatures, oceans in general are at around 0.7 °C (33.3 °F)).[17] The rise in sea surface temperatures is believed to increase monsoon rainfall.[18][17] 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.[19] These created a strong thermal low that brought heavier rains than usual.[18] The heatwaves also triggered glacial flooding in Gilgit Baltistan.[19]

Impact

In total, 1,191 people have been confirmed dead, including 399 children,[1] and an additional 3,554 injured.[2] Over 300,000 people are still living in temporary camps, as of August 2022, because of the floods.[20] These are the deadliest floods in Pakistan since 2010, when nearly 2,000 died in flooding,[21] and the deadliest in the world since the 2017 South Asian floods.[6] The finance minister of Pakistan, Miftah Ismail, said that the floods had inflicted at least US$10 billion (or ₨. 2,206 trillion) of damage on Pakistan.[3][4][5] Sherry Rehman, the minister of climate change, 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'.[9] Agricultural fields were also devastated by the water.[10]

Damaged houses per district

Heavy monsoon rainfall and floods have affected 33 million people in Pakistan since mid-June,[9][10] destroying nearly 218,000 houses and damaging hundreds of thousands more.[6][22][23] 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.[22] Over 17,560 schools were damaged or destroyed as well.[22] 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]

Most of the families have moved to safer places on foot and camels while carrying only essential supplies as roads and bridges were washed away.[46][47]
