Pakistan Floods, 670 Dead as Army Intensifies Relief and Rescue Operations

Devastating monsoon floods have killed 670 people and injured over 1,000 across Pakistan, officials confirmed on Tuesday.

According to DG ISPR Lt. Gen. Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, on the instructions of Field Marshal Asim Munir, Pakistan Army, Army Aviation, and rescue teams are actively working in flood-hit regions. So far, 6,903 people have been rescued, while over 6,000 have received treatment at army-run medical camps.

Special medical teams from CMH and army battalions have been deployed in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Gilgit-Baltistan. Army helicopters are airlifting rations and medicines to remote areas, while engineers are working round the clock to restore damaged roads and bridges.

“One day’s ration of the Pakistan Army has been allocated for the victims,” said DG ISPR, adding that 90 roads in KP were destroyed, but restoration is already underway.

This large-scale operation is being hailed as a critical lifeline for thousands stranded due to the floods.
