Pakistan Issues Warning Over Potential Glacial Floods

Israa Farhan Pakistan has issued a warning of possible glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) in the country's northwestern regions, as heavy monsoon rainfall continues and more downpours are forecast for the coming week. According to Anwar Shehzad, a spokesperson for the provincial disaster management authority, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province has witnessed significantly heavier rainfall this season compared to the same period last year. The intensified weather patterns have prompted a series of alerts, with particular concern over glacial floods triggered by the sudden bursting of ice-dammed lakes. An official letter issued by the authority in mid-July stated that the ongoing rise in temperatures could accelerate the melting of snow and glaciers, potentially setting off dangerous weather events in vulnerable mountainous areas. Pakistan, home to some of the world's largest glaciers outside the polar regions, remains increasingly vulnerable to the impact of climate change. The combination of high temperatures and heavier-than-usual rainfall is raising the risk of sudden flooding in regions where communities and infrastructure are often ill-equipped to cope with extreme events. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks
