Dear All,
Please find the OCHA Pakistan Monsoon Update Number 4 at this link: Monsoon Update No. 4
Overview:
- Monsoon rains experienced in early August and the current spell have triggered riverine and flash floods in vulnerable regions. The current spell is weakening.
- Rising water levels in the rivers Indus and Chenab pose a serious downstream flood threat.
- Water reservoirs in Pakistan and adjoining catchment areas of India are fast approaching their optimum levels, therefore fresh river flows are likely to exacerbate the flood situation.
- Media reports indicate recurring flood-related losses in north-east Punjab and Dera Ghazi (DG) Khan Division, eastern Balochistan, and adjoining regions of Sindh.
- The humanitarian community stands ready to support ongoing Government responses in flood-affected areas.
