“The bodies of the dead children were delivered to Ust-Kamenogorsk,” the message said on Monday.
Earlier, mudflows occurred in the Nookat district of the Osh region of Kyrgyzstan, which led to casualties among the population and tourists. Among the dead were children from Eastern Kazakhstan.
“Two boys and two girls, together with their mothers, went to visit Kyrgyzstan,” the press service of the akim of the East Kazakhstan region reported.
The press service noted that an operational headquarters has been created in the East Kazakhstan Akimat to provide assistance to the relatives of the children.
“The head of the region, Ermek Kosherbaev, met with the relatives of the victims, expressed deep condolences, and also assured that the regional administration will provide all the necessary support,” the regional office added.
It is also noted that local executive bodies took upon themselves the organization and conduct of the funeral, and enterprises and businessmen also expressed their readiness to provide assistance to the families.
