Pakistan Flood HORROR: 300+ Dead As Floods Turn North Pakistan Into Graveyard | Rescue Underway

Pakistan Flood HORROR: Pakistan is reeling from catastrophic monsoon floods that have killed at least 321 people in just 48 hours, the National Disaster Management Authority confirmed on Saturday. Most of the victims—307—were in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, where flash floods swept away entire villages and homes. Nine deaths were reported in Pakistan-administered Kashmir and five in Gilgit-Baltistan. Torrential rains, landslides, and washed-out roads are crippling rescue efforts, with more rainfall forecast. The provincial government has declared Buner, Bajaur, Swat, Shangla, Mansehra, and Battagram disaster-hit zones. Over 2,000 rescuers are working relentlessly, often on foot, to reach survivors trapped in debris, as machinery and ambulances struggle to reach cut-off areas. Many families refuse to evacuate, mourning loved ones buried beneath rubble. The government has issued an urgent rain alert, warning of more devastation to come. International attention is now on Pakistan’s fragile infrastructure and the scale of this unfolding humanitarian disaster. #PakistanFloods #MonsoonDisaster #ClimateCrisis #KhyberPakhtunkhwa #PakistanNews #FloodTragedy #DisasterRelief #BreakingNews #MonsoonPakistan #GlobalNews #ClimateDisaster #RescueEfforts #HumanitarianCrisis #SouthAsiaFloods #FlashFloods #DisasterUpdate #PakistanRain #FloodVictims #ExtremeWeather #ClimateEmergency ~HT.410~ED.346~GR.124~

Trump’s Shocking Pro-Pakistan Move: U.S Designates Baloch Group as Terrorists During Munir’s Visit

In a dramatic turn during Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir’s high-profile U.S. visit, the United States officially designated the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. The timing of the announcement is being hailed as a major diplomatic win for Islamabad and signals a deepening shift in U.S.-Pakistan ties under Trump’s renewed engagement. #Balochistan #BLA #MajeedBrigade #TerrorDesignation #AsimMunir #USPakistanRelations #TrumpNews #Geopolitics #SouthAsiaWatch #DiplomaticWin #MunirInUS #BLADeclaredTerrorist #CounterTerrorism #BreakingNews #PakistanUSA Also Read Pakistan: Baloch Militants Kill 9 Passengers From Punjab In Balochistan :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-gunmen-kill-9-passengers-in-balochistan-7797789.html?ref=DMDesc Baseless!

Pakistan Monsoon: 200 Dead, 560+ Injured As Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh Crumble Under Rains

Pakistan is reeling from an unforgiving monsoon season that has claimed over 200 lives and left more than 560 injured, including 182 children. Punjab has borne the brunt with 123 deaths, followed by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with 40, Sindh with 21, and others scattered across Balochistan, Islamabad, and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The deaths resulted from collapsing homes, flash floods, lightning, landslides, and electrocution. Rawalpindi was engulfed in chaos as flash floods submerged entire neighborhoods. Faisalabad also suffered heavy damage with 11 deaths in just 2 days. Infrastructure has crumbled — roads washed away in Chakwal, power supplies snapped, and communication lines destroyed. The UN warns of possible glacier lake outburst floods in the north. As the crisis unfolds, it’s a grim reminder of Pakistan’s growing climate vulnerability, just as in 2022 when floods killed over 1,700 and caused $40 billion in damage. #PakistanFloods #MonsoonDisaster #PunjabFloods #KhyberPakhtunkhwa #SindhRains #FlashFloods #ClimateCrisis #PakistanMonsoon #BalochistanFloods #IslamabadRains #POKRains #NDMA #FloodEmergency #RawalpindiFlood #FaisalabadTragedy #PakistanUnderWater #RainDisaster #UNWarning #GlacierFloods #WeatherAlert
