Russia, Kazakhstan - Floods, update
  • The number of displaced people and the damage caused by the severe flooding in south-western Russia and north-western Kazakhstan continues to rise. This situation is the result of rapid snowmelt caused by warm temperatures and heavy rainfall. On 5 April, two local dams broke in Orsk City (south-eastern Orenburg Region), worsening the situation.
  • According to media, as of 9 April, Russian regions of Orenburg, Tyumen and Kurgan have been affected by floods. Orenburg is the worst hit, with at least 6,000 people displaced and 10,000 houses damaged, mainly due to the Ural River overflow and the collapse of a dam in Orsk City.
  • In Kazakhstan, flooding affected ten Regions, mostly Akmola, Kostanai and North Kazakhstan. At least 75,982 people have been displaced, including 18,681 children. 7,203 people have been sheltered in temporary accommodation centres. At least 3,745 buildings have also been damaged. A state of emergency has been declared in ten oblasts: Akmola, Aktobe, Atyrau, Karagandy, Kostanai, Pavlodar, West Kazakhstan, North Kazakhstan, Abai, and Ulytau.
  • Over the next 24 hours, more rainfall is forecast over the affected areas.

Madagascar - Tropical Cyclone GAMANE
  • Tropical cylone GAMANE has had a devastating impact in Madagascar leaving 33 communes flooded, 625 900 people affected and 229 000 in need of humanitarian assistance as highlighted by the multi-sectoral rapid evaluation by flyover led by OCHA on 30 March.
  • For now, the consequences due to the flooding on rice fields and villages are more visible than those due to the strong winds, with widespread flooding in areas of Northern Madagascar.
  • According to OCHA, the country needs additional resources for the post-GAMANE response, including for pre-positioning emergency stocks which are already nearly depleted due to the extreme rainfall since January. Access conditions by road are very difficult and significant logistical support, by air and sea, is required until the roads can be accessed.
  • The floods have succeeded one another in the northern and eastern regions of Madagascar, and it is necessary to strengthen risk communication and disease surveillance to prevent epidemics (active approach); and to assess the cumulative medium-term effects of these successive floods on food security/nutrition.
