Flood |
Pakistan |
Pakistan has experienced an intense and prolonged monsoon season, resulting in extensive damage to infrastructure, significant casualties, and numerous injuries. August has seen particularly heavy rainfall, with recorded levels showing a 137 percent increase compared to the usual pattern. Regionally, Balochistan received 239 percent more rainfall than expected Sindh 318 percent, Punjab 111 percent, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) 25 percent above average. The combination of heavy rains and unusually high temperatures, have accelerated snowmelt in areas such as KP, Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) and Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) leading to catastrophic flash floods and landslides.
This year, rainfall has persisted across many regions with varying intensity and intervals, repeatedly impacting affected populations. The most recent spell, forecasted by the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) from 26 August to 1 September , resulted in further damages and additional loss of life. According to the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), as of 2 September, the monsoon season has claimed 306 lives, injured 584 people, and damaged 40 bridges and 20,653 houses since July 2024. Additionally, 1,100 livestock have perished, 119 kilometres of roads have been flooded, and approximately 9,500 people have been displaced in Sindh province. The ongoing floods have aggravated vulnerabilities and posed new risks to the already affected communities. Jacobabad, Naushahro Feroz, Ghotki, Sukkur, Sanghar, Dadu, Shaheed Benazirabad, and Kashmor have recorded heavy rains with significant damages to the houses and infrastructure. |

Flash Flood |
Lao People's Democratic Republic |
The Department of Meteorology and Hydrology of Lao PDR issued urgent flood warnings on 22 July 2024, due to Tropical Cyclone Prapiroon moving across the central South China Sea and passing through Hainan Island. At the same time, a strong southwest monsoon affected central and southern regions, leading to widespread moderate to heavy rains and rising water levels in tributaries. From 23 to 31 July 2024, heavy rainfall, driven by a low-pressure system and strong southwest winds, caused floods and landslides across northern and central regions.
According to the recent report from the NDMC gathered from 22 July to 8 August 2024, the persistent heavy rainfall has triggered widespread flooding and landslides across six provinces in Lao PDR, which included Luang Prabang, Huaphan, Xiengkhuang, Borlikhamxay, Khammuane, and Salavan province. Luang Prabang, Huaphan, and Xiengkhuang province have been the most severely impacted by floods and landslides |

Yemen |
Yemen is currently grappling with a severe climate emergency, as relentless flooding has swept across the country, exacerbating an already dire humanitarian crisis. Over the past several months, from March through August 2024, catastrophic floods have wreaked across numerous governorates, including Al-Hudaydah, Hajjah, Taiz, Dhamar, Sanaa, Amran, and Saadah deeply impacting approximately 39,765 households, according to the Yemen Red Crescent Society (YRC). The floods have led to significant loss of life and have left over 278,355 people in urgent need of assistance. The impact has been particularly devastating in Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) sites and surrounding communities, where homes, farms, and livelihoods have been destroyed. The situation is compounded by the challenges in accessing affected areas, as the movement of landmines, road damage, and the widespread nature of the impacted communities hinder the delivery of essential aid. These floods have not only inflicted widespread damage on infrastructure and homes but have also intensified vulnerabilities, particularly among IDPs who were already living in precarious conditions. The convergence of the floods with Yemen's protracted conflict has created urgent needs in shelter, health services, and food security, further complicated by significant health risks, including potential outbreaks of waterborne diseases and the displacement of unexploded ordnances. This dire situation underscores the critical need for a coordinated and enhanced response to address the compounded impacts of climate-induced disasters amid ongoing conflict. |
