Social media users pointed out the uneven distribution of volunteers in flooded villages in Dagestan.

The number of volunteers in Mamedkala, Derbent District, is declining, despite many unresolved issues, volunteers noted, calling on others to join them. Villages in the Khasavyurt District are in dire need of assistance, social media users noted.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot," approximately 1.5 million residents are in the zone of devastating floods in Dagestan. A federal state of emergency has been in effect in the region since April 9. The village of Mamedkala, where a dam breach left nearly 260 homes and gardens in the flood zone, was one of the hardest-hit settlements in Dagestan. Hundreds of volunteers arrived there to assist local residents. Gas service was restored to the village on the evening of April 10. Water remains in the village, but in smaller quantities. Aid is arriving regularly, but primarily from volunteers, villagers said.

A video calling for help for Mamedkale was published on the Instagram* group "Tut Dagestan."

Over the past two days, the flow of physical aid has noticeably decreased, but there is still a lot of work to do. Everyone, young and old, is working on the scene. Even those with special needs, such as deaf and dumb people, are working alongside everyone else (in the video, two people "speak" in sign language – note from "Caucasian Knot"). "Right now, we especially need the help of strong men to clear the rubble, as well as equipment—it's becoming increasingly difficult to cope without it," the video description says.

The post has garnered 146 comments. Most thanked the volunteers for their work. Some people noted that aid is desperately needed in other settlements.

"Write about the Khasavyurt district so bloggers and others can go there. The water is still standing; the situation is worse than in Mamedkala," noted mansurov_74.

"Don't forget about the Khasavyurt district; nothing has changed there either; everything is just as dire," he noted in another post.

"Brothers, Khasa would also need physical aid, as would the villages of Adilyotar, Tutlar, and Tsiyab-Tsilitli," agreed rakhim_60.

"Why is everyone going to Mamedkala? What about the other flooded villages and settlements?" - user _moschino_005 was surprised.

"Other villages and towns also need help, but they're on their own. The question remains, why only Mamedkala? The Khasavyurt villages are still flooded. They haven't even pumped out the water, let alone cleaned the houses," pointed out _original_5755.

"Why is the video always from Mamedkala!? Where are the other villages?" - asked dinara_dursunova.

"The Magaramkent district also needs help," commented bigima_alautdinovna.

"We need to coordinate who is sent where so that aid reaches all the affected districts," said luizkaaaminka.

As a reminder, the flood caught residents of the Khasavyurt district by surprise, and people had to hastily evacuate, leaving their belongings behind, the villagers said. In the first days of the flood, difficulties arose in organizing aid for victims, according to the Association of Charitable Foundations of Dagestan.

Financial assistance of 15,600 rubles is provided for each flood victim in Dagestan. Financial assistance is also provided for the loss of essential property: 78,735 rubles per person if property is partially lost, and 156,750 rubles per person if property is completely lost. Compensation for damage to health ranges from 313,000 to 627,000 rubles. For the death of a man, the authorities promised the family members of the deceased 1,567,500 rubles.
