The Astana International Forum scheduled for June 13-14 has been canceled due to the large-scale flooding situation in Kazakhstan. The event will continue its work in 2025. About 6,000 houses and fields are under water in 6 regions of the country.
As a result of the rise in the level of the Ural River at a record level for the entire period, it continues to flood settlements in the Orenburg region of Russia. The dams cannot withstand the water pressure. People are being evacuated en masse. The biggest floods in the last 80 years are observed in the northern regions of Kazakhstan.
More than 12,700 people, including 5,101 children, were evacuated due to floods in various regions of Kazakhstan. Local and international roads on the Russian-Kazakhstan border were blocked due to floods.
