A dust storm and rain on May 24 killed eight and injured dozens in Pakistan’s Punjab, causing widespread damage.
At least eight people lost their lives and 45 others sustained injuries when a powerful dust storm followed by rain swept across parts of Pakistan’s Punjab province on Saturday, May 24, the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) confirmed in a press release.
The storm, which came after a week-long heatwave, caused the collapse of several homes and left residents vulnerable in unsafe locations. The fatalities were largely the result of falling debris from dilapidated structures, the PDMA reported. Multiple homes were also damaged during the storm.
In Lahore, the provincial capital, the storm uprooted trees and damaged solar panels. Authorities urged residents to stay indoors and avoid venturing out unless absolutely necessary.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department had earlier forecast the possibility of dust storms and thundershowers for the day. The PDMA’s spokesperson noted that the storm-related incidents were spread across several districts and that emergency response teams had been mobilized.
As recovery efforts continue, officials are advising citizens to avoid unstable structures and remain alert to further weather advisories.
