Three months later in September 2022, Lake Manchar overflowed after the worst monsoon flooding in the country for a decade. The overflow from Lake Manchar flooded hundreds of villages and affected over 100,000 people. The September 2022 floods covered nearly a third of Pakistan and killed over 1,000 people.
