On July 14, Kyrgyz rescuers found the body of N.D., a woman born in 1980, on the bank of the Ak-Buura River near the Uzbekistan border. The previous night, the body of her 7-year-old daughter was discovered in Uzbekistan’s Shakhrihansay irrigation canal in Andijan. Later, at 14:30, the bodies of her other two daughters, born in 2005 and 2014, were found in the same canal.
The search continues for another woman who was swept away by the mudflow in Osh.
The mudflow also caused significant damage in the Kara-Suu district of the Osh region, affecting the settlements of Mady, Datka, and Bash-Bulak. In these areas, 642 residential buildings, four schools, one kindergarten, two hospitals, one museum, and one first aid station were flooded. In Osh city, 146 residential buildings and one kindergarten were damaged.
Since July 14, Osh has been under a state of emergency. Akylbek Japarov, Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan, reviewed the ongoing efforts to address the aftermath of the mudflows. He announced the formation of a special commission to assess the damage to market traders and directed relevant authorities to develop support mechanisms for affected entrepreneurs. Japarov emphasized the importance of implementing strong preventive measures against natural disasters and criticized the local authorities for inadequate response to the Ministry of Emergency Situations’ instructions.
“It is crucial to enhance security measures and protect the population from natural disasters. Recent events have taught us significant lessons. Local authorities must regulate recreational areas near rivers and mudflow-prone zones,” Japarov stated.
