Parts of Russia including the Urals, the Volga and central areas have declared states of emergency, after some of the worst flooding in decades.
The disaster has forced at least 6,500 people to leave their homes.
In the southern Kurgan region, media say the flooding could affect at least 19,000 people.
Meanwhile, people in Orsk are protesting against their local authorities for their handling of the situation — asking President Vladimir Putin for help.
They say they weren’t warned a nearby dam could burst.
Al Jazeera’s Yulia Shapovalova is live from the Russian city of Orsk for the latest.

Maybe you could do a better job instead of being a keyboard warrior
look at how disaster management is done in russia and in the land of the free.
natur disasters happen before eclipse?? Taiwan earth quake russia flood any connections with eclipse???🤔
No, God’s judgement.
May the Lord help the innocent Russians affected by this!
But they’re not innocent. God’s judgement for all the innocent lives lost in Ukraine !
Here we have heatwaves everyday, any technology can turn this hellish weather into something useful?
God bless Russia.
Watching from Somalia.

All the best to the russian people, love from UK 👍👌
Thanks to rescue team for rescuing people safely. 🙏

Putin is saying Ukraine caused this.
Happens when you make God mad
God didn’t make humans destroy our climate with greenhouse gasses from human use of fossil fuels.
Someone sitting on the other side of the Atlantic will conspire, and we will suffer on the this side, they will spend their days comfortably, we can never accept it.Never ever accept.
Did they blame Ukraine yet?
Bust Pipe
Surprisingly not, they are mentioning Kazakhstan. Tells about plans for another occupation attempts.
Thank you to the Russian Emergency workers for helping the trapped communities due to the floods, bringing bottles of water, medical supplies… I hope the help and Aid continues after the floods decrease – from England.
Първият етаж е залят с вода
The first floor is flooded with water.
I remember Putin reacting to comments by Sweden’s Global Warming Champion Greta Thunberg’s admonishing Governments for ineffective or worse no action to combat climate change.
Putin’s remark as I remember it was when asked about Greta and the Climate Change movement said, “I am not a fan.”
I bet he’s a little more aware now of the seriousness of the problem. Plus this may also be another case of Russian municipal and military theft and corruption. Somebody designed and some company built this dam in 2010. Maybe this dam was not designed to hold that much melt water? Maybe the dam was built to plan, but in actuality, it was deficient in some way? Maybe some investigation will come to a conclusion? Maybe people will be told a lie or two?
It’s Russia after all. How good can things really be?
We all see that the weapons that they built were 1990’s capabilities at best and now Putin has a Navy that has lost ONE THIRD of it’s Black Sea Naval Assets to a country without a navy at all. That is possibly due to negligence? Or simply out dated Naval Doctrines based on certain assumptions that are NOT true now. Like a fleet of fast, remote controlled long range delivery boats. Three or four collisions with the detonations of the explosives does a good deal of damage to these Russian ships right at the water line. Hard to close water tight bulkheads all along the ships port side.
Perhaps we could ask some high level Russian officers like Admiral Sokolov or General Genady Gerasimov about the need to rethink warfare doctrines? But we have not seen Sokolov or Gerasimov for quite a while.
Seems that that Storm Shadow raid on the Sevastopol Black Sea HQ building coincided with the presence of a meeting of the Black Sea Fleet commanders. How can that kind of timing be done? Someone got lucky? Someone is listening to Russian communications? Someone is inside the Russian Fleet and Army and Airforce command structure feeding periodic bits of valuable information about high level officers locations? Probably all of these and possibly Russia just being inept and risking themselves foolishly?
God is in control of the weather ; not man. No amount of money will change a thing ! In fact, the Bible clearly states we will see these things happen in the end times ! Matthew 24 & 25. Luke 21, & II Peter 2 & 3
Get help.
The cought the water moving toward ukrain
😢sorry 🇷🇺
Terrible accent but shes hot 🙂
gods judgment on putin.
And of course, Putin’s gestapo is always present the moment a few Russians gather together. The systems is sinking deeper and deeper into an Orwellian society.
А Казахстан что? О нем не надо говорить?
Karma. Kremlin is obsesesed with killing Ukrainians, and doesn’t care about Russians. Just as ISIS was shock that their vengeance turned out to be a pleasant political gift, because Kremlin doesn’t care about Russians. Russia is truly Orwellian state.
