In Dagestan, water has been pumped out of flooded homes, but not all victims are receiving payments

According to the Dagestan Ministry of Emergency Situations, all garden plots and residential buildings in the region have been cleared of floodwater. However, work to fully restore utilities continues: power has been restored in one village, and gas and water in four.

Currently, 522 people, including 165 children, remain in temporary accommodation centers. The Ministry of Emergency Situations is actively working to address the aftermath of the disaster, including disinfection and targeted assistance.

It is reported that approximately 215,000 applications for assistance have been received from victims, but there is a problem with payments. The "Patient and Housing and Utilities Monitor" project has identified 16 streets in Makhachkala where residents have been denied payments because their addresses are not included in official lists.

"These areas are not included on the list by the administration, and this is difficult to accept. People whose homes were damaged should not be left without attention and assistance just because their addresses weren't included. People lost property, suffered damage, endured severe stress, and now face a new blow: they simply weren't on the official lists," human rights activists lamented on their Telegram channel.
