00:00Historic flooding is devastating Pakistan's Punjab region right now.

00:06Intense monsoon rains compounded by dam water releases from India have unleashed unprecedented

00:14flooding across Punjab, pushing major rivers like Ravi, Chenab and Sutlej to record breaking

00:21levels.

00:23The scale is staggering, nearly 2 million people affected in eastern Punjab alone.

00:27Around 300,000 more evacuated in the last 48 hours, bringing total displaced to 1.3 million.

00:35In Southern Sindh, over 100,000 people moved out of high-risk zones.

00:40On the ground, the military and rescue teams are deploying boats and drones to evacuate residents

00:46stranded in submerged villages.

00:49Makeshift camps are overcrowded and suffering from lack of food, clean water and sanitation.

00:56In Punjab, emergency shelters are being set up in schools, police stations and other sturdy

01:03buildings.

01:04Punjab's chief minister has promised compensation to affected families, but this situation underscores

01:12how catastrophic climate change is becoming for Pakistan.

01:16Summer monsoons, intensified rainfall and cross-border water dynamics are combining into a disaster cocktail.

01:24This isn't just a temporary flood.

01:26It's a humanitarian crisis, testing, casting Pakistan's disaster preparedness limits.

01:35Crops are at risk, livelihoods are underwater and mounting tensions over dam management with

01:42India could have serious diplomatic fallout.
