Pakistan floods: 6-day deadline for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa officials to release compensation; over 24,000 relocated in Punjab

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s chief minister has mandated swift compensation for flood victims, setting a Sunday deadline for payments amidst widespread destruction. Rains and floods have claimed over 400 lives since August 15, exacerbating risks of disease and trauma. In Pakistan-occupied Gilgit-Baltistan, a glacial flood has isolated residents, submerging homes and farmland, highlighting Pakistan’s vulnerability to climate-driven disasters.
