Iran has offered full support to Pakistan as deadly floods continue to cause destruction across multiple regions. On Monday, Iranian Interior Minister Sikandar Momeni called Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi to express solidarity. He extended heartfelt condolences for the loss of life and property in recent flash floods. Calling Pakistan a “brotherly neighbour,” Momeni said Iran was ready to help in any way needed.
In response, Naqvi thanked Iran for its support and concern. He said both countries shared deep emotional and cultural ties. Stressing the impact of climate change, Naqvi said Pakistan was facing unprecedented weather events. He added that all national institutions were working round-the-clock to rescue people and restore normalcy. Relief and rehabilitation of victims remain the government’s top focus.
Meanwhile, flash floods in Gilgit-Baltistan have damaged homes and forced evacuations. In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the death toll has risen sharply after another weekend of heavy rain. Officials confirmed at least 13 more deaths and over 50 injuries. Strong winds uprooted trees, brought down power lines, and collapsed houses in multiple districts including Dera Ismail Khan and Lower Dir. Hospitals have been placed on emergency footing.
The situation in Punjab is also alarming. High flood alerts have been issued as India reported dangerous water levels in rivers near the border. More than 21,000 people have been evacuated from the Chenab River basin. The Sutlej has already overflowed, and rivers Indus and Chenab are nearing flood stage. Croplands are submerged, and floodwaters have displaced thousands across Vehari, Sahiwal, and Narowal.
According to the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), since June 26, floods have claimed 788 lives nationwide, including over 200 children. More than 6,600 homes have been damaged, and thousands of livestock lost. The NDMA reports that over 25,000 people have been rescued, with relief supplies being delivered across affected provinces. Emergency camps and shelters remain active as rains continue.
