- Monsoon rains trigger house collapse in Lahore, killing 9 family members
Monsoon rains in Lahore, Pakistan, triggered a house collapse that killed nine family members and injured others. Officials linked the heavy rains to climate change, which has caused over 100 deaths in rain-related incidents since June, including 14 children in a tutorial center collapse. Rescue efforts lasted 24 hours, and authorities warned of potential extreme weather similar to Pakistan's 2022 catastrophic floods.
- Still unprepared
Pakistan is facing a nationwide emergency as heavy monsoon rains cause flooding, landslides, and infrastructure damage, with over 100 deaths reported. Despite warnings from the Met Office and NDMA about rising river levels and flash floods, the government's preparedness remains inadequate, echoing failures from the 2022 floods.
