The National Disaster Management Authority has issued a flood alert in response to the growing risk of glacial lake outburst floods in northern Pakistan. The alert, issued by the National Emergencies Operation Centre, was prompted by rising monsoon rains and increasing temperatures that have heightened the likelihood of glacial lakes bursting.
Areas affected by the alert include Ghizer, Hunza, Nagar, Shigar, Gilgit, Rondu, Diamer, Astore, Skardu, Ghanche, Kharmang, Chitral, Upper and Lower Dir, Swat, Shangla, Koohistan, and nearby hilly regions. Residents in these areas are warned of potential flood conditions and landslide risks due to the heightened threat.
