“The video shows water scarcity in Pakistan following the Indian government’s suspension of the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty.”
What FACTLY found
The viral video is unrelated to the Pahalgam attack on 22 April 2025 and does not depict water scarcity in Pakistan following the Indian government’s suspension of the 1960 Indus Waters Treaty. The video was uploaded by a photojournalist from Gaza on Instagram on 27 December 2024, confirming that it predates the attack.
