Pakistan’s Utilization of Flood Relief Funding Falls Short

Despite pledges of $3.36 billion in international and local flood relief funding, Pakistan has only disbursed 29.4% as of May, hindering recovery efforts. Punjab boasts 100% financial progress, while Balochistan lags with only 1.7% utilization. The floods, affecting 33 million people, caused widespread damage to water systems and infrastructure, leaving millions reliant on contaminated water. Pakistan, ranked 5th most vulnerable to climate change, faces increasing risks of extreme weather events, according to a UN report.
