Villager from Flooding Village Warns Authorities: Ignored Traffic Congestion in Lena
In the remote Olekminsky District of Siberia, a crisis is unfolding as the region grapples with severe flooding, an event now referred to as Flood-2024. Unlike previous years, the situation this time around has been met with a lack of concern and urgency, raising alarm among local residents and aid organisations.
The flooding has affected several villages, including Nerัktัะนinsk 1, Killakh, and Dapparay. Residents of these flooded villages have been prioritised for life support, and food has been provided to help them weather the crisis. However, the aid has been scant, with only one helicopter arriving in the flooded area and no humanitarian aid being present on the ground.
The Federal Agency for Water Resources has suspended blasting operations to clear ice dams at the Lena River mouth in the Olekminsky District. The decision was made due to environmental concerns and potential negative impacts of the operations. Instead, explosive works are being conducted to remove ice jams on the Lena River.
In an effort to provide temporary shelter, temporary accommodation centres have been set up for the displaced residents. Despite the challenges, the spirit of the people remains resilient, as they face this crisis head-on.
As the situation continues to evolve, it is hoped that more aid will be mobilised to support the people of the Olekminsky District in their time of need. The world watches on, hoping for a swift resolution to this crisis and a return to normalcy for the affected communities.
