Central Asia reels under its worst flooding in decades as melting snow and burst dams submerge towns in Kazakhstan and Russia. Over 70 years of records have been shattered, with the Ural Mountains, Siberia, and Kazakhstan’s river regions hit hardest.
Residents near Astana, Kazakhstan, like Aiman Kulumbetova, told CGTN their village is holding up—for now. \"The government rushed to build dams and stack sandbags,\" she said. \"If things escalate, we will be put in schools.\" 🏘️
Emergency teams are working nonstop to evacuate families, secure unstable dams, and prevent further damage. Climate experts warn such extreme weather could become more frequent. 🌏❄️
Stay tuned as rescue efforts continue—and shoutout to the crews working round the clock! 👏 #SolidarityInAction
