I will be thinking of all of you and how thankful I am that people around the world care what happens in our little corner of Ukraine. Best wishes from Transcarpathia. Hope the following information is helpful. The situation in the western Ukrainian oblast of Transcarpathia, which recently suffered through devastating floods, still remains bad. Geology experts said that this winter and next spring there could be an even worse situation than what is taking place in the region now.
Geologists forecast landslides throughout the entire oblast.
They said that 40 million tons of sliding soils can scrape from the map one of the most beautiful and picturesque spots of Ukraine, endangering the lives of 1.288 million residents of the Transcarpathian oblast. The sanitation and epidemic situation in the entire Transcarpathian oblast is also bad as a result of the flooding. Over 24,000 people from over 100 villages were displaced. All except 8,000 have returned to their homes, but most of their homes are not in a good situation. Fourteen people have been killed by the flooding, many people are missing, and over 1,000 are injured.
