Army sets up field hospital in GB on the orders of the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) as devastating floods continue to destroy lives and infrastructure across the region. The facility has been established in a remote village to provide immediate medical assistance where local healthcare access has collapsed.
According to military officials, the hospital is equipped with medicines, doctors, and emergency supplies to treat those injured in floods and landslides. Residents, including children, women, and elderly people, are receiving both first aid and advanced care. Many had been stranded for days without treatment before the Army teams reached them.
Rescue operations are running alongside the medical response. Soldiers have evacuated stranded families and tourists from blocked valleys where rising waters and landslides had cut off all access. The Pakistan Army’s engineers are also working to restore damaged roads and bridges, ensuring relief supplies reach villages still isolated by the disaster.
The Army’s rescue and relief operations in Gilgit Baltistan have been welcomed by local communities. Villagers say the presence of medical teams has restored a sense of safety and hope during an otherwise overwhelming crisis. Civil administration and volunteers are also cooperating with the Army to expand food distribution and provide temporary shelters.
Floods have already claimed dozens of lives and destroyed hundreds of homes across GB and surrounding areas. Authorities warn that further rainfall could deepen the crisis, but the establishment of the field hospital and ongoing relief efforts are helping to reduce immediate risks.
Community leaders and officials are urging people to cooperate with rescue workers and avoid unnecessary movement in flood-prone areas. Saving lives, they emphasized, remains the first priority.
