The Ministry of Emergencies in the Turkistan region has announced that at least 204 people, including 111 children, have been evacuated from flood-affected households in Turkistan’s Karnak village, Sauran and Baidibek districts.

Pumping operations are also currently underway in five settlements: Shayan and Shakpak villages in Baidibek district, Shaga village in Saran district, Sholakkorgan village in Sozak district, and Ary’s town.

To prevent further flooding of homes, 13,000 sandbags were placed. This work involves 430 employees from the Ministry of Emergency, the ministry of defence, and local executive authorities, as well as 70 specialised vehicles.
