Karachi Floods 2026: Emergency Declared
Karachi has once again been brought to a standstill. The provincial government has declared an emergency after record-breaking monsoon rains lashed the city for 48 consecutive hours, submerging key roads and neighborhoods.
Urban Planning Failure?
Despite promises of infrastructure upgrades following the 2022 and 2024 floods, the city's drainage system has failed to cope. Areas like DHA, Clifton, and Surjani Town are reporting water levels up to waist height. Power outages have plunged millions into darkness.
Relief Efforts
The Pakistan Army and Navy have been deployed to assist with rescue operations. Citizens are mobilizing on social media to coordinate food and medicine delivery to stranded families, showcasing the resilient spirit of Karachiites.
