New information through on-ground investigations indicates that Pakistan has lost billions of dollars, and this estimate is bound to increase once all areas are explored for damages completely. With predictions of consistent rain for the next four to five days, hopes of recovery have been dampened.

Cities like Islamabad and Rawalpindi are already undergoing this wet spell in Punjab, but it seems as though unforgiving amounts of rain are continuing to devastate Sindh.

Two cuts were made into the city's canal so that excess water could be diverted, and to cause the water flow to change. Other places in the north like Kashmir, KP and Gilgit-Baltistan are experiencing increased risks of landslides due to the rain as well.
