Floods Receding, But Stories of Pain Remain
Bahawalpur (Star Struck Times) — For weeks, Bahawalpur’s Sutlej river raged over its banks, flooding entire “kacha” riverine belts, displacing thousands, and leaving villages under water. Today, the PDMA has confirmed that river flows across Punjab — Indus, Jhelum, Ravi, and Chenab — are returning to normal.
- “Emotional scenes in Bahawalpur show families returning to broken homes as floodwaters finally recede, offering hope but also exposing the scale of devastation.”
At the Empress Bridge in Bahawalpur, the gauge has dropped dramatically — from 13.6 feet at the height of the floods to just 10.2 feet now. Local reporters say this decline has brought relief to residents, yet homes remain filled with mud, crops destroyed, and families left homeless.
The UN has declared Pakistan’s flood recovery a growing crisis, with Bahawalpur at its center — even as waters begin to recede.
International Aid and UNICEF’s Warning
While Pakistan breathes a sigh of relief at falling waters, UNICEF’s Floods 2025 Update released just days earlier paints a sobering picture:
- Thousands of families still lack clean drinking water.
- Emergency health needs are rising due to water-borne diseases.
- Children in flooded villages remain the most vulnerable.
Meanwhile, the UN’s warning — “Pakistan’s flood relief needs are huge” — was echoed by The Express Tribune just hours ago, stressing that global aid remains far below what’s required.
