The nationwide death toll from this year’s monsoon rains has climbed above 100 after 10 more people lost their lives in Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) over the past 24 hours, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) said on Sunday.

According to the NDMA’s daily report covering the 24 hours until 1pm, seven people died in Punjab and three in K-P, taking the nationwide death toll since June 26 to 107. Punjab recorded two deaths each in Gujrat and Okara, while one fatality each in Sargodha, Narowal and Sialkot.

In K-P, according to the NDMA report, two people died in Hangu and one in Shangla. The NDMA said the fatalities were caused by house collapses, electrocution and drowning.

The latest spell of rains also left 50 people injured, including 47 in various districts of Punjab and three in Hangu, K-P. Since the onset of the monsoon season, K-P has recorded the highest death toll with 55 fatalities, followed by Punjab with 36. Azad Jammu and Kashmir has reported seven deaths, Balochistan six, Sindh two and Gilgit-Baltistan one.

The NDMA said the monsoon has so far injured 297 people, damaged 447 houses and killed 269 livestock nationwide. Rescue teams have conducted 130 operations since the beginning of the season, rescuing 3,841 people. Infrastructure has also suffered damage, with roads in parts of KP and Gilgit-Baltistan disrupted by landslides and rising water levels.

Punjab has borne a significant share of the seasonal losses. Most fatalities in the province were linked to collapsing mud houses, lightning strikes and electrocution.

Meanwhile, Gilgit-Baltistan remains among the worst-affected regions, where flash floods, mudflows and landslides have damaged 184 houses, destroyed nine bridges and washed away nearly eight kilometres of roads, according to the Gilgit-Baltistan Disaster Management Authority.

It said 60 disaster incidents have been recorded across the region, with Astore reporting the highest number of damaged houses, Diamer suffering extensive destruction and Skardu recording the greatest bridge losses.

Relief operations are continuing across the mountainous region, with food packs, tents and other emergency supplies being distributed to affected communities, while the National Highway Authority has intensified road clearance work on key routes.

Authorities have urged residents in vulnerable areas to follow official weather advisories and avoid unnecessary travel as another spell of monsoon rains is expected later this week.
