Flood victims left without help in Krymsk are holding
a spontaneous rally. People state they may go to extreme measures
such as blocking the main street of the city so that to draw
attention of the government to their situation.
Such information has been released by YABLOKO leader Sergei
Mitrokhin who is now in Krymsk. According to Mitrokhin, it
turned out that about 200 residents of the city (from Chernyshevsky
and Lunacharsky streets) waiting for help for three days already
have not got any help from the authorities, as well as food
or fresh water. Their houses are flooded, but water is not
pumped out, and since the beginning of disaster they have
received no assistance whatsoever from either the administration,
or the Emergency Situations Ministry.
Now we will see what we can do for these people, but certainly
our capabilities are incomparable with those of the government,
Mitrokhin said.
This morning Sergei Mitrokhin arrived in Krymsk with a truck
full of humanitarian aid for to the flood victims. The aid
will be distributed via the aid center organised by YABLOKO
and EkoWatch acitivists close to Adaumskaya street 153 on
July 6.
On Sunday, July 8, Coordinating Centre organised by the YABLOKO
party for rendering aid to the residents of the affected districts
opened in Krasnodar. This centre gets collects different types
of material aid (but for financial assistance) which is immediately
sent to the Krymsk district and coordinates actions of different
activist groups engaged in the public campaign of providing
help to the victims of the flood.
