Heavy rainfall has caused significant flooding in Islamabad and Rawalpindi, leading to waterlogged streets, damaged homes, and disrupted daily life. Reports indicate that low-lying areas in both cities are severely affected, with residents struggling to navigate flooded roads.
Emergency services have been deployed with rescue equipment, including boats, life jackets, and other gear, to assist stranded residents. Medical teams are also on-site, providing first aid, essential medicines, and treatment for potential waterborne illnesses. Temporary clinics have been set up to handle the increasing number of patients affected by the floods.
Authorities confirmed that electricity and communication lines were partially disrupted in several areas, complicating relief operations. Municipal staff, volunteers, and rescue teams are working around the clock to clear waterlogged streets, restore infrastructure, and deliver essential supplies to the affected population.
Residents have been advised to avoid traveling through flooded areas, follow safety instructions, and keep emergency kits ready with food, water, and medicines. Officials stressed the importance of community cooperation for effective relief efforts.
Meteorological departments have warned of continued heavy rainfall in the coming days, urging citizens in Islamabad, Rawalpindi, and surrounding areas to remain vigilant. Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely to protect lives and minimize further damage.
