Record monsoon rains since late June, amplified by dam releases from India, have submerged large swathes of Punjab and Sindh, causing billions of dollars in damage while straining food supplies, exports and a fragile economic recovery https://t.co/KYtWk85WGQ
Over 4 million people have been impacted by the unprecedented floods in #Punjab. The Benazir Income Support Programme is the fastest and most effective way to distribute relief. Not utilizing one of the state’s key organizations, which has both the data and the capacity to deliver assistance, would be irresponsible.
Chairman @BBhuttoZardari has demanded the federal government declare an Agriculture Emergency, waiver electricity bills for the flood victims and areas submerged in flood water, immediate relief provided via BISP and urges government to engage with international organisation for assistance and aid !
The PPP will be presenting resolutions in all provincial assemblies, the National Assembly and Senate of Pakistan
We welcome the federal government decision to announce climate and agricultural emergency following PPPs demand.
However; the federal government has still not announce relief through the Benazir income support program for flood impacted districts especially Gilgit Baltistan, Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab & especially south Punjab. This is despite @CMShehbaz having told me personally it would be done.
Finally the delay by the government to initiate their international appeal for assistance through UN mechanisms is beyond comprehension. This is standard practice for disasters of this scale internationally. It was done for the last floods when I was foreign minister, before that the 2010 floods and the 2005 earthquake. Countries all over the world do the same within the first 72 hours of such disasters. There is no excuse to cut of the millions affected from this assistance. We demand the government initiate this process immediately.
The PPP will be presenting resolutions in all provincial assemblies, the National Assembly & Senate of Pakistan in line with the above.
Following my visits to flood impacted areas of central punjab, south punjab and Sindh. I have had meetings with CM Sindh and provincial agriculture minister on what can be done at a provincial level to support the agricultural community given it is the most devastated sector. We look forward to support from the federal government as well on these initiatives.

Another year without you, and the ache never fades. Your laughter, love, and courage are missed beyond words. But your dreams for a just, democratic #Pakistan live on in every heart you touched. We carry your legacy with pride and pain. Rest in eternal peace. #SalaamBenazir
Today, we remember the unwavering courage and sacrifice of my mother, Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto. Her vision for a democratic, just, and peaceful Pakistan continues to guide us. Your legacy lives on, and your people will never forget.

New canals in Punjab will devastate Sindh’s agriculture, worsen drinking water shortages in Badin, Thatta, and Lower Sindh. The 1991 Water Accord must be implemented to protect Sindh’s resources. Federal. https://t.co/QSCqtXiBsj
