What happened, where and when?
Floods in June
Heavy rains in Kyrgyzstan from 17 to 24 June caused flooding in the provinces of Osh, Jalal-Abad, Talas and Batken. In total, four villages in Jalal-Abad, four villages in Osh, four villages in Talas and five villages in Batken were affected. Average April precipitation in the affected areas ranges from 31 to 92 mm.
Due to the sudden and intense rainfall, strong winds and the mountainous terrain, large amounts of water flowed down the hills towards the affected settlements, causing landslides and flooding, which led to flooding in the settlements. The disaster destroyed and blocked the main roads leading to and from the villages, damaged residential and non-residential buildings and arable land. The floods also disrupted drinking water supplies in the Kadmazhai district, affecting water distribution networks.
