| General Information | ||||||||||||||
Context of the Activation The 2025 Pakistan floods are a series of devastating flash floods triggered by heavy pre-monsoon rains since 2025, primarily affecting Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The floods resulted in significant casualties, infrastructure damage, and widespread displacement, particularly in the Swat Valley. The provincial government has responded quickly to rescue the stranded people. (Source: Wiki) | ||||||||||||||
