Last year’s floods left many people without food and electricity in Pakistan, whileleaving scores dead in Kohistan and Lower and Upper Kolai Pallas districts.

The rainfalls followed by flash floods and aided by crumbling infrastructure and insufficient government response mechanisms wreaked havoc in Balochistan in 2022. As per the situation reports of the National Disaster Management Authority, as of November, 336 people died and 187 were injured in the aftermath of the floods in Balochistan, stated The News International report.

Locals have said the government gave them more assistance in the 2010 floods, which caused less damage. Government officials, in an interview with The News International, rejected the claims made by local residents.

Officials said the wheat seed would be helpful for farmers in the cultivation of wheat in the ongoing season as floods had swept away seed stockpiles in many places, risking a severe wheat shortage next year, The News International reported.
