South Punjab’s flood victims left in despair despite govt claims of relief

Floods may have receded, but the suffering hasn’t. In South Punjab’s Multan, Jalalpur, Alipur, and Maqsoodpur, thousands remain stranded in makeshift flood camps or forced to return to homes surrounded by stagnant water.

While CM Punjab Maryam Nawaz’s social media shows images of well-equipped, '"model” flood camps, the ground reality tells a different story: families living without clean drinking water, children falling sick in contaminated ponds, women struggling for privacy and dignity, and entire communities facing outbreaks of disease.

Behind the staged visuals lies the truth of South Punjab’s forgotten flood victims - neglected, voiceless, and left to survive on their own. This is not just a story about floods; it is about broken promises, misplaced priorities, and lives trapped between water and despair.
