Pakistan has been enduring severe monsoon weather since June 2022, which saw area- weighted rainfall 67 per cent above normal levels in that month alone. Rainfall in the country
is equivalent to 2.9 times the national 30-year average. This has caused widespread flooding and landslides, with severe repercussions for human lives, property and infrastructure. To date, 81 districts across Pakistan have been declared ‘calamity hit’ by the Government of Pakistan. These numbers remain dynamic given the ongoing rains, and the number of calamity-declared districts are expected to increase.
