Pakistan Floods Displace Millions | JQJO

Over half a million Pakistanis have fled their homes in Punjab province due to rising river levels in the past 24 hours, bringing the total number of displaced people to 1.8 million since last month. Flooding has inundated 3,900 villages, with Muzaffargarh and Multan among the hardest hit. While Pakistan claims sufficient resources, the British government has contributed an additional $2.2 million in aid to Sindh province. Rescue efforts are underway, involving the military and NGOs, though 46 deaths have been reported. Further flooding is anticipated due to continued monsoon rains and dam releases from India.
