search for survivors continuing in the war thank you dario. it is today is a day of grief and a day of mourning for the victims of flash floods in southern russia the search for bodies does continue as does the clean up operation have made more difficult by the lack of supplies of electricity gas and fresh water the water came into the town on friday night in the middle of the night with huge force and with no warning it flooded and destroyed houses and flipped cars over in the street many of the victims were elderly people unable to escape in time so rapid was the deluge . all across the town people tried to escape and get to help on roofs and on fences wherever they could find any shelter. putin has visited the region

he's met local officials and he's demanded an inquiry into why so many people died and into why there was no proper warning of the oncoming water. people here are very angry both at the lack of the warning and because they say a local reservoir and its dam caused the flooding by opening its leaves gates across the internet there's also been a lot of discussion with some people criticizing the hour for a tease and others using the internet to try and organize donations of clothes and supplies for people who have lost everything authorities deny that the dam caused the flooding saying that it had an automatic overflow system that came into effect but that didn't release enough water to cause flooding an investigation which is looking into the causes will try and find out what exactly happened on that night in friday when all the water arrived people across the town of crim scared today

a neighbor an old woman had her house collapse on top of her all night perched on top of the neighbor's fence the flood surging around her. but the wood had to move into more than we need to meet. i was sitting on the fence bring it wouldn't come higher because they knew i would have drowned most of those who died were elderly too frail to escape the deluge those who did manage to make it to safety say they will never forget what happened i grab the curtain and push my feet through the window this can save my life the helicopter did not see me at first but i started to wave my cane and it came back it couldn't land so it didn't pick me up after that a folk came and i started to shout they save me for those left behind the basic necessities must now take priority. where looking through the rubble for our things washed them in this water and in their hours dry them the clothes that we're wearing now are actually all we have left as the wave struck we only thought about our children and

our lives since the beginning of this tragedy the death toll has climbed steadily and even now not everyone has been accounted for our ten year old nieces lost who were standing outside the morgue all day yesterday but no news nothing many here are hungry and exhausted and have no homes to return to and need to start from scratch or sure i'm a veteran of the second world war all my medals are gone everything is gone i don't have anything anymore how do i live for you or should i do now but i thank god on a life and with commemoration service is being held across russia there are certain to be many more stories of personal tragedy and bravery tomas and r.t. . will take place throughout monday while the number of dad could rise as emergency teams continue to search through the destruction over twenty four thousand people have been affected by the flash floods and mary are still in shock artist dennis blocky reports on how they are coping. the flood affected almost every family and

every household sold and crims just this morning with all groups of people talking about the damage still trying to find their neighbors and loved ones there was a sign on one of the houses we passed this morning that read i'm alive i'm at my brother's place there is a lack of local information since there is still no electricity in most neighborhoods with no radio or t.v. in town people share news by word of mouth we saw dozens of relatives visiting the town's morgue where they did the identification of bodies is still taking place those who were lucky to survive now face tough challenges this scale of destruction is enormous and people are taking matters into their own hands by starting to rebuild homes and apartments the russian emergency ministry deployed thousands of rescue workers but there is so much more besides government's help there is a strong feeling of support coming from russia in the broad social networks twitter and facebook in particular are buzzing with information about donations for the

victims of the crims chewed up as a child up with them i read people's pleas for help on an internet forum and we rushed here my son and i as soon as we could to at least bring some much needed food for them to me i got two e-mails he has today from people in brisbane and in chicago asking about the crims claude's calls for help go beyond traditional charities as volunteers among them private individuals from other cities travel to koreans bringing food water and clothes yesterday were met calls explained cross and or who brought several trucks of supplies. volunteers are resorting to a whole range of modern communications to aid those affected by the floods activists from across russia have started drawing an online map to coordinate the efforts of all those willing to help why anyone willing to donate food or clothes can find the nearest spot to do that or create a place of their own and let others know there are resources freshly useful when it
