A devastating landslide in Gilgit, Pakistan, resulted in the tragic loss of eight local volunteers who were working to restore the flood-damaged Danyor Nullah. Several others sustained injuries and were rushed to hospitals where emergency services are in action.

Rescue teams, along with local residents, are tirelessly searching for individuals still trapped under the debris. According to police reports, four critically injured individuals have already been successfully rescued.

The volunteers were repairing a water channel that had been damaged by recent floods when a mudslide struck, burying several individuals under tons of earth and rocks. Local authorities noted the community’s rapid response, with residents joining the rescue efforts to locate survivors. This heartbreaking event has left Gilgit in shock, and efforts are ongoing to save those still trapped.

Pakistan’s recent monsoon season has resulted in widespread devastation, leading to over 260 deaths from urban flooding, flash floods, and landslides. In the tourist hotspot of Gilgit-Baltistan, Chief Minister Haji Gulbar Khan reported 10 fatalities and four injuries last month due to floods triggered by the monsoon. Furthermore, 300 houses were completely destroyed, while 200 others suffered partial damage. Significant infrastructure was also affected, including 30-40% of water channels and approximately 15-20 kilometers of roadways.
