On August 15, 2025, the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in northwest Pakistan was hit by devastating floods triggered by intense monsoon rains and sudden cloudbursts, causing widespread destruction and loss of life. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, floods have led to almost 400 deaths, many of them in Buner district, which alone has reported over 225 fatalities. Entire villages were swept away, homes destroyed and vital infrastructure washed out, leaving communities isolated and rescue operations severely hampered. Authorities, including military and emergency teams, have rescued over 25,000 people, though difficult terrain and ongoing rainfall have slowed relief efforts. With monsoon conditions expected to persist into September, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa remains on high alert as Pakistan faces one of its deadliest flood disasters in recent memory. Americares is in Pakistan working with partners to address the most urgent health needs.
