Description
In northern Kazakhstan, flooding has submerged swathes of the city of Petropavlosk, where rescuers have carried out "preventive" evacuations the day before. Alexander Kuprakov, a resident of an affected district, blames insufficient funding by the authorities into flood prevention inspections and infrastructure which could have avoided the disaster. There is widespread flooding in the Russian Urals regions and neighbouring Kazakhstan, caused by melting ice swelling rivers, exacerbated by heavy rainfall. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
