Could this be Pakistan's worst flood yet? Millions face devastation.
Severe monsoon flooding has struck Pakistan's Punjab province, impacting agricultural lands and urban areas. Authorities report over 2 million people are at risk, with rising waters displacing communities.
Lahore, a major city, has seen luxury neighborhoods submerged, highlighting the widespread impact. The province, often called Pakistan's "breadbasket," is experiencing significant crop losses, threatening food security.
Experts attribute the increased flooding to a combination of factors, including melting glaciers and depleted forests, as reported by Al Jazeera. These conditions exacerbate the impact of intense monsoon rains.
Rescue and relief efforts are underway, but the scale of the disaster presents a significant challenge. The government is assessing long-term needs and planning for infrastructure repairs and support for affected populations.
