Monsoon deaths in Pakistan have now reached 111, and the number keeps rising as the rain refuses to let up. Since the last week of June, people across the country have been living in fear as floods, collapsed houses, and landslides continue to take lives many of them children.
The rain hasn’t spared any region. From Sindh and Balochistan to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab, the damage has spread everywhere. Streets look more like rivers. Homes have fallen apart. And with broken drainage systems and poor construction, families had nowhere to hide when the storm hit.
In many heartbreaking cases, children drowned while playing outside or got trapped under bricks and wooden beams when roofs gave in. These kinds of tragedies aren’t new. They happen every year, and still, no real safety plans exist for people living in flood-prone towns and villages.
Rescue teams and local volunteers did their best to help, but reaching some areas wasn’t easy. Flooded roads and blocked paths slowed everything down. In a few places, people are still waiting for help to arrive. The National Disaster Management Authority is asking families in danger zones to stay alert and move to safer ground while they still have time.

But the rain still hasn’t stopped. Weather reports say more heavy showers are on the way. People all over the country feel anxious. Some have already lost their homes, their belongings—even loved ones. Others are just holding on, praying they don’t have to go through the same.
Even after so many monsoon disasters, the country still hasn’t built strong flood protection or proper warning systems. People suffer, year after year, while waiting for real change.
The rising monsoon deaths in Pakistan show just how serious the situation has become. Without better planning and strong action, the rain will keep coming and so will the heartbreak.
