<p>This year’s monsoon season and subsequent flooding are unprecedented in comparison to the disasters of 2010 and 2020. While the Pakistan Meteorological Office did provide warnings about this year’s monsoon, it seems that many did not to take it seriously, thinking that this would be another year of typical rains. However, this year, Pakistan has had rainfall, one expert noted, “780% above average levels.” Compounding, this is the uncontrolled construction across the country in both rural and urban areas. </p>

<p>The images from the floods are unbelievable — massive buildings and entire communities, particularly those built alongside rivers and other waterways, have been washed away. Many of the structures were constructed either illegally or so poorly that it could not withstand the rains and subsequent floods. Some of these structures were built in places that were hard hit by the 2010 floods.</p>
