Uzbekistan Sends Aid to Kyrgyzstan After Osh Region Floods

Following heavy flooding in Kyrgyzstan’s Osh region on July 14, people in Uzbekistan’s nearby Andijan region have sent 200 tons humanitarian aid to the people affected.

The aid received in Osh includes household goods, construction materials, clothes and food. The flood resulted from torrential rains in the surrounding mountains and hills.

Kyrgyzstan has suffered more than usual from extreme weather this summer. Last month nine people were killed by another flood in the Osh region.
