PAKISTAN

Heavy monsoon rains since 26 June have triggered flash floods across Pakistan, particularly affecting Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Punjab, and Sindh provinces. As of 1 July, 45 fatalities and 68 injuries have been reported by the disaster management authorities nationwide, with KP recording the highest toll at 21 deaths, damages to roads, infrastructure, and community isolation have prompted emergency response operations. The National Disaster Management Authority, in coordination with provincial and local authorities, has placed emergency services on standby, issued public advisories, and continues to lead relief and rescue efforts. Further heavy rain is forecast over northern Pakistan in the coming days. ¹ Probability of precipitation Above normal Normal Below Normal

INDIA

Heavy monsoon rainfall since 26 June has been impacting Kerala State in southwestern India, causing widespread flooding, river overflows, and landslides. As of 30 June, ten fatalities have been reported by the media—three in Thrissur, two in Malappuram, one each in Thiruvananthapuram and Kannur, and at least three along the Karamana River. The rains have forced the evacuation of approximately 3,200 people across the state, led to several structural collapses, and school closures in affected areas. Over the next days, continued rainfall is forecast for northern coastal parts of Kerala.

INDONESIA

Between 24 and 29 June, exceptional rainfall triggered flooding across the provinces of Banten, West Java, Central Java, Maluku, North Maluku, and Southeast Sulawesi. The floods resulted in two fatalities and affected more than 70,000 people. Additionally, whirlwinds on 28 June in Bangka Regency, Bangka Belitung Islands, and Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra, caused damage to 252 homes. Local authorities responded by conducting rapid needs assessments, evacuating the most vulnerable, and providing temporary shelter, as well as food and non-food assistance.

CHINA

Persistent heavy rainfall has triggered severe flooding events across southern and southwestern China, particularly affecting the provinces of Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangxi, Guangdong, Guizhou, and Fujian. According to the Ministry of Water Resources (MWR), emergency teams have been deployed, and more than 120,000 people have been relocated to safer areas. In Guizhou’s Rongjiang County, where part of the city was submerged on 29 June, authorities raised the emergency flood response to Level I—the highest alert—and have reported six fatalities. While the floods have resulted in significant agricultural and infrastructure damage, early warnings and pre-emptive evacuations have helped minimize casualties in most areas. The Chinese Government has maintained Level IV to III flood alerts across multiple provinces, with forecasts of continued heavy rainfall across the Yangtze and Pearl River basins from 2 to 5 July.

MYANMAR

Airstrikes and ongoing hostilities continue to severely impact civilians in northeastern and northwestern Myanmar, triggering new waves of displacement and reports of casualties. In Sagaing Region alone, more than 10,000 people have been displaced since 14 June, many of whom are now sheltering in monasteries amid urgent food and protection needs. Between 20 and 26 June, airstrikes across Mandalay, Sagaing, and Northern Shan reportedly resulted in the deaths of at least eight civilians and injuries to more than 25 others, including children. The ongoing conflict raises serious concerns regarding the protection of civilians. All parties to the conflict are reminded of their obligations under International Humanitarian Law and International Human Rights Law, particularly the imperative to distinguish between civilians and military targets and to take all feasible precautions to avoid harm to civilian populations.
