The Revised Pakistan 2022 Floods Response Plan covers the period from September 1, 2022, to May 31, 2023, addressing the unprecedented climate-induced disaster in Pakistan caused by heavy rains and various types of flooding since June 2022. The disaster has resulted in widespread fatalities, displacement, and damage to infrastructure and ecosystems.
Around 33 million people have been affected, with at least 7.9 million people displaced, including over 175,600 women, 194,000 girls, and 206,000 boys. Over 1,600 people were killed and over 12,800 people were injured, with one-third of all recorded deaths and injuries being children.
More than 2 million houses have been affected, with over 767,000 houses destroyed and nearly 1.3 million houses damaged. Additionally, over 1.1 million livestock have reportedly been killed, and approximately 9.4 million acres of crop area in Pakistan were potentially inundated in August.
The floods are expected to push between 9.9 and 15.4 million people into poverty, intensifying the depth and severity of poverty for already poor households. Women are especially vulnerable to poverty, with only 22.6% of women in Pakistan active in the labor market.
The pattern of rainfall since June is a departure from the usual seasonal pattern, affecting areas not usually impacted by the annual monsoon. South and central Pakistan have been most affected, with Sindh enduring 8.3 times and Balochistan enduring 6.9 times their respective average rainfall.
The Government of Sindh Irrigation Department projects that water will have receded from most districts in the province by December, while Dadu and Jamshoro are expected to remain at least partially inundated until the end of the year.
The effects of global climate change in Pakistan are evident through the melting and receding glaciers; increasing frequency of droughts, flooding and erratic weather behavior; changes in agricultural patterns; reduction in fresh water supply; loss of biodiversity; and increase in the formation and outburst of glacial lakes.
The response plan aims to address the immediate needs of those affected by the floods, including shelter, food, clean water, health care, and protection. It also focuses on early recovery efforts to help communities rebuild their livelihoods and infrastructure.
The plan requires $816 million to meet the needs of 9.5 million people targeted for assistance. The funding will support a wide range of activities aimed at providing emergency relief, early recovery, and longer-term resilience-building measures for the affected populations.
In conclusion, the Revised Pakistan 2022 Floods Response Plan outlines the extensive impact of the floods on the people, infrastructure, and environment of Pakistan. It underscores the urgent need for international support to address the immediate humanitarian needs and to implement long-term climate action to mitigate the effects of future disasters.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres noted during his visit to Pakistan in September that he had never seen climate carnage on this scale and urged massive and urgent financial support for Pakistan. He emphasized the need for effective international solidarity and effective justice through the mobilization of support for relief, rehabilitation, and reconstruction, as well as through concrete and equitable climate action.
