Interventions
- Humanitarian cluster partners and UN agencies supported relief and early recovery programming for October 2025 to April 2026, targeting 1.6 million people in 14 priority districts.
- Provincial authorities operated evacuation centers during the peak crisis, with around 3 million people reportedly evacuated nationwide and many sheltering in 1,580 centers.
- National and local response efforts included rescue operations, emergency shelter, and basic assistance in the hardest-hit areas of Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Gilgit-Baltistan.
What Works
- Early warning plus pre-emptive evacuation works best during monsoon flood risk, as shown by large-scale evacuations and use of evacuation centers that reduced exposure once flooding intensified.
- Targeted multi-sector humanitarian response, including shelter, health, WASH, and livelihood support, is the evidence-based recovery approach used in the official relief and early recovery plan for the worst-hit districts.
