ISLAMABAD/LAHORE/MULTAN – NDMA Chairman Lt-Gen Inam Haider Malik reported that roughly 210,000 people have been safely evacuated from flood-hit areas without any casualties. He noted that rescue efforts involved collaboration among the Pakistan Army, Rangers, Rescue 1122, PDMAs, and other agencies. Evacuees are being accommodated in relief camps, receiving medical assistance, food, and essential services until it is safe for them to return home. This operation was prompted by New Delhi’s warning of potential cross-border flooding. The Prime Minister’s Office has provided 5,000 tents for relief, and the Prime Minister will visit affected areas soon. NDMA warned of more rainfall from August 29 to September 9 and is monitoring water flow and pressure levels in key areas.
