On Wednesday, September 4th, 2025, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed his deep sorrow regarding the catastrophic floods that have ravaged northern Pakistan. The floods have resulted in significant loss of life and widespread displacement.
A statement released by his spokesperson, Stephane Dujarric, indicated that the Secretary-General was profoundly saddened by the recent events. The floods have reportedly claimed the lives of over 400 individuals.
The statement further highlighted the scale of the disaster, which has been attributed to a severe monsoon season intensified by the effects of climate change. Approximately 1.5 million people have been impacted, with hundreds of thousands urgently requiring humanitarian aid.
The statement also noted the extensive damage to infrastructure, including more than 3,000 homes, over 400 schools, and roughly 40 healthcare facilities.
