Mass evacuations in Pakistan’s flooded Punjab hit 300,000 in 48 hours | Climate Crisis News

Pakistan began evacuations last month after India released water from overflowing dams into low-lying border regions.

Nearly 300,000 people have been evacuated in the past 48 hours from flood-hit areas of Pakistan’s Punjab province, bringing the total displaced since last month to 1.3 million, following flood alerts from India. While authorities struggle to manage the crisis, with over 3.3 million affected and severe conditions in relief camps, the situation is exacerbated by reports of inadequate aid and health risks among survivors.
