The flooding in Punjab in 2025 was not just a natural disaster, it was a challenge to human spirit and response systems. Communities were inundated, farms were lost, and even basic aspects of human connection fell apart in terms of access. What kept life moving forward, even amid tragedy, was the scale of the response—from boats evacuating families, to organizations distributing food and medicine and tending to people’s spirits when hope was fading.
- Floods don’t just bring water; they bring fear, hunger, and unpredictability. Across Punjab this year.
- People were trapped in flooded houses, unaware of the need for daily essentials.
- Children and older adults went hungry without access to safe drinking water.
- Livestock, the livelihood of rural communities were tied up, or left behind.
- Families huddled up on rooftops, praying for rescue.
This is where our NGO, the Serve Humanity Serve God Charitable Trust, was involved. During our organized flood relief response, we were able to re-establish contact and reach out to families who had been isolated and unreachable. With kitchens underwater and farmland flooded, it was impossible to cook. Our teams distributed Dry ration kits, Packaged bottled water because drinking from wells was not safe. For many families, when the rescue boat arrived, it was the first sign of any hope after waiting for days since food and support had been unavailable. With tremendous work from capable volunteer organizations and humanitarian support, the flood disaster management teams we are a part of will continue providing relief to those in need.
Medical Aid & Health Support During Punjab Flood 2025
- Living in homes with flood conditions were unsafe conditions not only for the weather but there was the immediate risk of skin infections, fever, and stomach illnesses. Inaccessible hospitals meant our medical volunteers provided humanitarian assistance as listed: medications for fever, diarrhea, infections, Animals were not neglected as well. Managing a flood disaster also included providing food so the cows and buffalo could live during the disaster. For so many impoverished families, livestock is much more than livestock; they are the only source of income.
Our volunteers made sure that: - Most animals stranded received food and water
- Animals confined in barns were rescued from drowning
- We distributed fodder, silage, and water because if we saved a cow or buffalo, we saved a family’s livelihood.
It was a difficult task. Since the majority of Punjab was underneath water, rescue operations for floods were dependent on boats and rafts to transport supplies. Groups of youth, community members, and partners with NGOs expressed their commitment to not leaving any families behind. This sense of community and volunteering in service to others has considerable retention from the flood relief work in Punjab, 2025, and represents an important learning of the role of volunteers to contact the most vulnerable.
Though emergency relief has aided in saving lives, recovery will take time. In the wake of all the flooding, survivors will face:
Land that is covered in layers of sand and mud
Loss of crops, loss of livestock,
Homes that may no longer be habitable.
One focus area of our NGO is long-term flood disaster mitigation and humanitarian support that includes: Sponsorship of livestock donations for flood-impacted families, Seeds, fertilizers and assistance/education with farming available. The 2025 Punjab Flood has tested families and animals. Well, let’s begin this recovery process by working together.
