Pakistan’s monsoon death toll has crossed 100, reaching 107 since the season began on June 26, after ten more people died in a 24-hour period — seven in Punjab and three in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (The Express Tribune; Dawn; Pakistan Today).
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa remains the worst-affected province with 55 deaths, followed by Punjab with 36, Azad Jammu and Kashmir with seven, Balochistan with six, Sindh with two and Gilgit-Baltistan with one (Dawn).
The National Disaster Management Authority attributes the deaths principally to house collapses, electrocution and drowning — the same pattern the authority has reported throughout the season, in which structural failure rather than flood water has been the leading killer.
The toll has risen steeply through the past week: 72 on July 22, 86 on July 25, 97 on July 26 and 107 today. That is 35 deaths in five days.
The Meteorological Department expects more rain in the country’s upper parts from July 29 (Dawn).
The figures land on the day Azad Jammu and Kashmir — which has recorded seven deaths this season — votes in the first phase of its Legislative Assembly election.
