Floods and rain-triggered incidents killed 23 people and injured six across Pakistan in the space of just 24 hours, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) said on Friday. The eastern Punjab province reported 22 deaths, including seven children and three women, all caused by flooding. In Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, one child was killed in a landslide. More than 1.5 million people have been affected by the recent floods, according to the NDMA. In Lahore, the country's second-largest city, townhouses and villas have been submerged in a private housing community, with the flood water being close to one-meter-deep in some cases. Locals living along the banks of River Ravi saw that flood defenses have proved ineffective, with many residents unable to get back home amid rising water levels. In addition, some people have been left stranded inside their homes without any electricity and can only await rescue from the authorities as the floodwaters show little signs of receding. Since the start of the monsoon season in late June, at least 842 people have died and over 1,110 others have been injured in rain-related incidents, according to data from the NDMA. The northwest Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province has reported the highest casualties, followed by Punjab. Authorities warned that another spell of torrential rains is expected in the coming days, raising the risk of further flooding. Shotlist: Lahore, Pakistan - Aug 29, 2025: 1.

It wasn't this bad yesterday, but it has been raining continuously and the river has risen. The societies' [housing community's] owners took a lot of money from us to build a protective wall along the Ravi River. They said it will protect our houses. But it has collapsed. I'm really worried now."; [SHOTS OVERLAYING SOUNDBITE] 5. Various of submerged houses, floods; 6. Various of people walking in floodwater; [SHOTS OVERLAYING SOUNDBITE] 7.
