Residents of a mountain village in Dagestan asked for help clearing a road.

The road to the village of Guimi in the Laksky District is blocked by landslides, preventing residents from even getting groceries. Villagers have complained of a lack of assistance. Social media users have called on rescuers and authorities to provide assistance.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on April 12, 516 residential buildings, 556 garden plots, and 45 sections of roads remained flooded in seven settlements in Dagestan. 523 people, including 173 children, are in temporary accommodation centers. On April 9, the state of emergency in Dagestan and Chechnya due to flooding was raised from regional to federal.

"Guimi village, Laksky district, roads are blocked due to a mudflow. People are cut off from civilization, cannot get out for water. Cattle are stuck, cannot be pulled out. Help is needed. Residents report that "We contacted various services, they promised help, but it's been two weeks, and there's still no help," reads the description of a video published on the Instagram* group "Voice of Dagestan."

In the published video, a mountain road is littered with rocks. A villager off-camera points to the road, noting that it's the road to the store and is littered in several places. He also points to livestock among the rubble. According to him, appeals to the administration have yielded no results—the road has been littered for two weeks now.

"People of Lak, don't be silent, ring the alarm bells!" aisha_79_1 urged.

Many of the comments urgently demand immediate assistance for the victims. Commentators expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of prompt response from the Ministry of Emergency Situations and other agencies.

"What is the Ministry of Emergency Situations doing? Are they sleeping?" asked mmaster_astana_87025718785.

"Isn't this the Ministry of Emergency Situations' job? Where are they? Why aren't they providing assistance?" asked _bella_svon42.

"Please help the people; they need help and support," urged maya_baymurzaeva.

"Don't you have any local authorities? If there are 20 houses in the village, where are all the people who went to the city?" "Let them go help their parents," luisa_gasanova expressed the opposite opinion.

A video published in 2022 by the Dagestan State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company states that only four families remain in the village of Guimi.

The Institute of Geography of the Russian Academy of Sciences linked regular Flooding in Dagestan is a combination of natural processes and anthropogenic impacts, which increases the scale of natural disasters and increases the risks for people.
