Flash Floods in Pakistan: EU Responds to Urgent Humanitarian Needs

Islamabad, 2 September 2025: Devastating flash floods, caused by intense monsoon rains, have tragically claimed hundreds of lives in Pakistan, with many more still missing. 

Our heartfelt condolences go out to the families of the victims and all those affected by this disaster.

In response to the urgent humanitarian needs in the flood-affected areas, the European Union has allocated nearly 350 million PKR (EUR 1 050 000) in emergency assistance. This support will be provided through trusted humanitarian partner organisations and will include:

• Life-saving health services
• Water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) support to prevent the spread of disease
• Cash assistance to help the most vulnerable meet their basic needs

The EU remains committed to standing in solidarity with the people of Pakistan during this critical time.
