Storyline: Tens of thousands have been displaced by the worst flooding in years across Pakistan’s Punjab Province, as communities grapple with scarce local resources and a glaring lack of international aid. Heavy monsoon rains have claimed more than 800 lives and displaced over 200,000 people across Punjab since late June, submerging villages, wiping out livelihoods, and turning schools into temporary shelters. Classrooms in districts such as Kasur have been converted into cramped living spaces, where families sleep on thin mats and depend on sporadic aid. "This school was meant for learning, now it's a shelter. We have nothing to give them except education. These people need homes. International community should step forward," said Nasira Khatoon, one of the volunteers. Despite urgent appeals, international response has been critically insufficient. The United Nations has allocated just 600,000 U.S. dollars in emergency funding, while the Gates Foundation contributed an additional 1 million U.S. dollars for medical support, amounts that fall far short of the escalating humanitarian need. "We came here with nothing, no food, no medicine. They're providing us with meals and basic facilities," said Hameed Ashraf, one of the flood victims. With government capabilities stretched thin, affected families face an uncertain future. "My real concern is, what will happen once the water recedes? Our homes are gone, our animals are dead," Hameed said. Hameed's mother said all her memories have been washed away. "I only had one picture album of my husband. He passed away 15 years ago, all the pictures are gone," said Muradan Bibi, Hameed's mother. Shotlist: Punjab, Pakistan - Sept 1, 2025: 1. Aerial shots of buildings, flood 2.
