\n \"Flooding
\n Flooding in Katekh
\n <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\n On 11 June, heavy rains in the Zagatala and Balakan regions of Azerbaijan caused major flooding in the village of Katekh.\n<\/p>\n

\n The rains caused the Dalichay River, which runs through Katekh, to overflow, flooding over 50 homes and 400 courtyards, sweeping away poultry and small cattle, and destroying about 10 fences.\n<\/p>\n

\n One of the residents affected is 71-year-old widow Maya Hasanova, who lost her chickens and her only cow to the floodwaters.\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cI used to sell the chickens\u2019 eggs and the cow\u2019s milk to buy medicine,\u201d Hasanova told Meydan TV. \u201cI\u2019ve been on the street for two days, there\u2019s nothing left of my health. After I get my house in order I\u2019ll have to start again from scratch. How can I start over with a pension of 145 manats ($85 per month)? At the very least, the government should give compensation, give money for the chickens and the cow, and rebuild the barn.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n Hasanova is one of many residents of Katekh who have suffered from the flooding. The Abdullayev family have spent two nights sleeping outside.\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cThe say that the Emergency Situations Commission is working,\u201d Sabuhi Abdullayev, the father of four small children, said in an interview with Meydan TV. \u201cIf they\u2019re working it\u2019s going very slowly. There\u2019s still water in my house. I can\u2019t put my children in there. We brought the bedding outside and we\u2019re waiting for it to dry, along with the mattress. Our furniture, our other things, our clothes – it\u2019s all underwater. I emptied part of (the house) with a pump, but it\u2019s not completely empty.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n The Balakan Region Executive Authority told Meydan TV that the flooding caused serious damage in two villages – Katekh and Gazbina. The Commission, along with local authorities, is currently working to identify the affected farms.\n<\/p>\n

\n \u201cWe have concentrated all of our efforts in those villages, and the water is being pumped out of the homes, courtyards, and fields with special equipment,\u201d the Executive Authority told Meydan TV. \u201cI would say that a lot of work has been done. In Katekh there shouldn\u2019t be any more flooded homes. Right now it\u2019s summer, the weather\u2019s warm, soon the sunny weather will dry out the roofs and walls of the houses. The families will probably be able to return to their homes. If their farms have been damaged, citizens should appeal to the Ministry of Agriculture, that agency might be able to offer certain assistance.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n The flood washed away eight small bridges and damaged electrical wires and gas lines along Dalichay River. The Executive Authority says that electricity will be restored.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
