Just over 4% of applicants received payments following the flooding in Dagestan.

248,845 applications for flood-related support measures have been submitted in Dagestan, of which 10,900 have been paid. This is only 4.38% of the total number of applications.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot," by April 27, only 7,654 people in Dagestan out of nearly 234,000 applicants had received payments related to the flood. A common reason for denial of payments remains the lack of specific addresses for victims in the emergency zone, despite the flooding.

Payments to flood victims in Dagestan have been made based on nearly 11,000 applications, TASS reports.

"Assessment commissions continue their work. 248,845 applications for social support measures have been received, and payments have been made for 10,900 applications," the agency quotes a representative of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations as saying.

The ministry noted that there are no flooded residential buildings or garden plots in Dagestan. "Power and gas supplies have been fully restored. Work to restore cold water supply in two settlements is ongoing. 340 people, including 104 children, are being accommodated in 10 temporary accommodation centers across the republic. Specialists from the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations and the Russian Emergency Situations Service are providing psychological support at the temporary accommodation centers," the agency quoted the agency as saying.

The number of applications for which payments were made accounts for only 4.38% of the total number of applications, according to the Caucasian Knot.

Floods caused by heavy rains began in the North Caucasus in late March and have become some of the most destructive in recent years. Dagestan and Chechnya suffered the most from the disaster, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Spring Flooding in the North Caucasus - 2026".

Residents of Chechnya have submitted more than 29,000 claims for compensation due to flood damage. According to them, in Chechnya, compensation documents are collected without unnecessary formalities; photographs of damaged houses are often sufficient. Meanwhile, residents of Dagestan affected by the flood have repeatedly complained about denials of payments. For example, in the Turali microdistrict of Makhachkala, flooding damaged floors and household appliances, and residents were denied payments, local residents complained.

The Caucasian Knot has compiled materials about flooding in the republics of the North Caucasus Federal District in the spring of 2026 on the thematic page "Flooding in the North Caucasus".
