1/3 of Pakistan Flooded by Monsoon Rains - 33 Million people impacted

Pakistan: More than 6.4 million in ‘dire need’ after unprecedented floods

2 September 2022

The scale of the humanitarian crisis in Pakistan is unprecedented, with a third of the country under water, UN humanitarians warned on Friday.

With more than 33 million people impacted, that represents 15 per cent of the total Pakistani population.

Some 6.4 plus million people are in dire need of humanitarian aid.

In the past few weeks, record monsoon rains dumped more than five times the 30-year average for rainfall in some provinces, killing more than 1,200 people and injuring over 6,000 since June. Nearly 400 children are among the fatalities.
