ISLAMABAD, August 16, 2025 — Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar expressed profound sorrow over the recent cloudbursts and flash floods across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and northern Pakistan. In a heartfelt video message, he extended condolences to affected families, the injured, and those who have lost homes and livelihoods.
Emergency Response Underway
Senator Dar emphasized that the Government of Pakistan has mobilized all available resources for relief and rescue operations. Federal and provincial agencies, together with the armed forces and local administrations, are working tirelessly to reach affected communities and safeguard lives.
National Coordination & Priorities
He shared that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif chaired an emergency meeting to coordinate immediate needs and plan for long-term recovery efforts. The DPM noted that he had to forgo a scheduled community event with the British-Pakistani diaspora in the UK—cancelling meetings with UK officials—to focus fully on national relief efforts in solidarity with grieving families.
Call for Unity and Support
Senator Dar called on all Pakistanis, both domestically and abroad, to keep affected families in their prayers and extend support in any way possible. He expressed hope that, with divine grace and national unity, Pakistan will overcome this challenging period.
