Public Aid Centre for the victims of the flood opened by
YABLOKO’s activists and EcoWatch in the North Caucasus the
next day after the flood keeps working in Krymsk. The Centre
is situated at Adagumskaya Street 153 in front of the shop
Magnit.
Trucks with humanitarian aid arrive here from different cities
of the South Russia. For example, today Alexei Mirukov, head
of the Anapa branch of YABLOKO, and Victor Krivoshapkin, a
civil activist, brought medications and food-stuffs.
A truck carrying a large tent where the Centre will be located
is on the way from Novorossiysk. Yet the activists have been
working outside day and night. Local government gave neither
a tent nor a room to the volunteers.
This morning activists from the United Russia party from
Stavropol brought humanitarian aid by a truck with their party
symbols. YABLOKO leader Sergei Mitrokhin who is in Krymsk
now expressed gratitude to them. “I don’t any problem in using
party symbols” Mitrokhin said. “We cannot act anonymously
as we are responsible for the quality of food and things we
are hand out to people.”
The activists and heads of all YABLOKO’s regional and local
branches from Krasnodar, Anapa, Sochi, Tuapse and Novorossiysk
are in Krymsk now.
The first truck with humanitarian aid from St.Petersburg
collected at the office of St.Petersburg Observers was sent
to the Krasnodar area this night. Only for the first day of
collection of humanitarian aid 1800 people came to the office
of this organisation brining the food-stuffs, clothes and
medications for the victims.
The volunteers who are going to help in Krymsk, including
unloading of the truck and distributing the packed humanitarian
aid among the victims, went to Krymsk together with the first
truck. Denis Vasilyev, member of St.Petersburg YABLOKO, is
among such volunteers.
Collection of aid for the victims of the flood in Krymsk
goes on in St-Petersburg. One of the collection centres is
opened at the office of Grigory Yavlinsky and YABLOKO supporters
at the address Mozhayskaya 15, tel.: 8-921-700-2664 (Madina)
from 8 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.
YABLOKO leader Sergei Mitrokhin arrived in Krymsk yesterday.
He and YABLOKO activists brought humanitarian aid to the most
affected city districts. In the evening he examined the artificial
pond along the Psish river above the Armyansky village in
the Krymsk district which was also affected by the flood.
The dam of the pond was broken by water, which together with
heavy rains resulted in flooding the Armyansky, the Sheptalsky
and the Novoukrainsky villages. Thus, the examination proved
the concerns of YABLOKO activists that the unfavourable situation
with the hydraulic facilities in the Krasnodar Territory added
to the catastrophe.
