Descripción
Between June and August 2022, flash floods caused by abnormally heavy monsoon rains affected 3.1 million people, killed at least 903 people and displaced more than 300 000 people in Pakistan. The Federal Government identified 76 of the 160 districts in the country as those most affected by the floods, with Balochistan province being the hardest hit. The province recorded 234 deaths as a result of widespread flooding, as well as significant livestock losses, and severe damage to crops, irrigation infrastructures, food stored for household (HH) consumption, seed and grain storages, agricultural tools and machinery. An estimated 108 149 acres of crops and orchards were damaged in 34 districts, equivalent to ten percent of total cropped land in the province. The livestock population was also severely impacted. By 23 August 2022, over 500 000 livestock had been lost at national level as a result of floods; of these 113 814 (23%) were in Balochistan.
