- On the night of September 9, over 122,000 residents were relocated due to severe flooding in Jalalpur Pirwala, located in the eastern region of Punjab province, Pakistan.
- Severe flooding caused by several weeks of heavy monsoon rainfall, sudden cloudburst events, and dam water discharges from India’s neighboring regions has forced over 2 million residents to leave their homes in Punjab since the previous month.
- Over 3,900 villages across 26 districts have been engulfed by floodwaters, destroying crops and displacing many residents who now remain in relief shelters or with family members, enduring intense heat and scarce food resources.
- Displaced residents shared their severe struggles, with one describing their situation as reduced to begging, and another emphasizing that while homes can be reconstructed, human life is irreplaceable.
- Authorities reported gradual floodwater recession, began recovery efforts including clearing silt, rebuilding embankments, and planned largescale reforestation to address agricultural and ecological damage.
