Dagestan authorities have released new data on payments to flood victims.

Over 1.5 billion rubles have been paid out in response to requests from Dagestan residents affected by the floods. Forty thousand people, or 14.7% of applicants, received assistance.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot," as of June 10, one and a half billion rubles had been paid out in response to requests submitted by over 39,000 Dagestan residents affected by the floods. Payments were received by 14.5% of applicants.

At a meeting of the government commission on flood relief, Dagestan Prime Minister Magomed Ramazanov announced that 49 educational institutions had been repaired using the regional budget. The Russian Ministry of Education has allocated over 2 billion rubles "for the restoration of 36 facilities seriously damaged by floods," the Dagestan government press service reported today on its Telegram channel.

New data on payments to victims was also announced during the meeting: 40,370 payments have been allocated to residents as part of financial support to date, with the total amount of support exceeding 1.5 billion rubles. Thus, the share of applicants who received payments increased from 14.5% to 14.7% in one day.

The commission separately reviewed issues of payments for damaged or lost residential premises, including unregistered ones.

"Categories of residential buildings without registered ownership rights have been identified, for which the possibility of legal protection and receiving state payments is provided upon presentation of certain documents. Claims to establish ownership and use of residential premises are submitted by city and district prosecutors. For each claim, the prosecutor's office files a motion for immediate enforcement of the decision," commented Magomed Ramazanov.

The official added that flood control work continues on the Cherkes-Ozen and Tarnairka rivers. 1,485 bridge spaces and culverts on railways, federal, and regional roads have been cleared to manage floodwaters. Specialists conducted on-site inspections of 22 water bodies in 11 municipal districts, identifying 55 water and gas pipelines, 23 bridge crossings, and six river obstructions. Sixty-five non-permanent and 32 permanent structures, 18 fences, and five bridge crossings were demolished.

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

Residents of Chechnya have submitted over 29,000 claims for compensation for flood damage. According to them, in Chechnya, documents for compensation payments are collected without unnecessary formalities; photographs of damaged houses are often sufficient. Meanwhile, residents of Dagestan affected by the flooding have repeatedly complained about denials of payments. For example, in the Turali microdistrict of Makhachkala, flooding damaged floors and household appliances, and people were denied payments, local residents complained. Caucasian Knot also reported that residents of Dagestan affected by the flooding in March and April said they are still waiting for payments from the authorities for lost property. In May, residents of Makhachkala complained that a month after the flood, they were waiting for financial assistance and compensation for lost property; some had to submit applications multiple times. Some residents of the village of Mamedkala and the town of Dagestanskiye Ogni have also not yet received compensation for their homes lost during the flood.

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".
