A fundraising drive for residents of Dagestan has been announced in Kabardino-Balkaria.

The Muslim Administration called on residents of Kabardino-Balkaria to bring items and food to collection points for flood victims in Dagestan.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on April 6, 2,075 residential buildings and 1,817 garden plots in seven municipalities in Dagestan remained flooded. Residents of the village of Mamedkala in the Derbent District affected by the flood complained of the authorities' indifference and poor organization of volunteer assistance.

The Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Kabardino-Balkaria has announced a collection to help flood victims in Dagestan, the newspaper "Gazeta Yuga" reported today.

An appeal to residents of Kabardino-Balkaria was posted on the republic's Spiritual Administration of Muslims' Telegram channel late in the evening of April 6. "It is with sorrow and pain in our hearts that we witness the natural disaster that has befallen our neighbors—the fraternal people of Dagestan. Devastating floods and floods have brought grief to many families, leaving people homeless and destroying property and crops. In this difficult time, we cannot remain indifferent," the statement reads.

Reception centers have been set up to quickly collect and send items to the affected areas of Dagestan, including residents of Mamedkala. "Essential items (new or in perfect condition): warm clothing and bedding (blankets, pillows); non-perishable food products (cereals, canned goods, flour, sugar, vegetable oil, baby food); hygiene products and drinking water (bottled)," the statement reads.

The administration also called for the donation of shovels, pumps, overalls, rakes, generators, ropes, cables, and tools (axes, hammers, saws, crowbars) to humanitarian aid centers.

Collection points have been set up at the central mosque of Nalchik, the Barakat charity foundation in Nalchik on Kalyuzhny Street, and at mosques in populated areas of the republic.

The DUM also published bank card details, offering to transfer funds for the purchase of targeted assistance and the transfer of funds to flood victims in Dagestan.

"The DUM of the KBR guarantees complete transparency" "All funds will be sent directly to the affected families through the Muftiate of the Republic of Dagestan and the Insan Charitable Foundation," the statement emphasized.

As of 11:50 a.m. Moscow time, no comments had been posted under the DUM's post, and commenting was disabled.

As a reminder, the rainfall in Kabardino-Balkaria itself was light. Dagestan and Chechnya suffered the most from the natural disaster, according to the Caucasian Knot report "Spring Flooding in the North Caucasus - 2026".

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".
