In Mamedkala, more than 500 homes were damaged during the flooding in early April. Residents whose homes were damaged filed more than 400 claims for compensation.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot," the village of Mamedkala, where a dam breach left nearly 260 homes and their gardens in the flood zone, became one of the hardest-hit settlements in Dagestan. Hundreds of volunteers arrived to assist local residents. The victims primarily receive assistance from volunteers, villagers said.

On April 6, the Gejukh Dam collapsed in the Derbent District of Dagestan, evacuating more than 350 residents from the village of Mamedkala and surrounding villages. The floodwaters washed several cars off the highway, killing at least four people. On April 10, an engineer from a commercial organization who was supposed to oversee the safe operation of the dam was detained. Later, the former director of the company that maintained the dam was also detained.

More than 400 applications from residents of Mamedkala whose homes were damaged during the flood in early April have been received by employees of the Ministry of Construction of Dagestan, RIA Dagestan reported on June 20, citing the first deputy head of the department, Salam Gasainiev.

Gasainiev also stated that more than 500 homes in Mamedkala were damaged during the dam collapse.

On June 20, the Chairman of the Government of Dagestan, Magomed Ramazanov, visited the application collection point and assured that the republic's leadership will provide phased support to all victims.

"Caucasian Knot" has prepared a detailed memo that will help you understand who is eligible for payments, what amounts are provided, what documents are needed, and what to do if some of the paperwork is missing. Floods caused by heavy rains began in the North Caucasus at the end of 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." The Caucasian Knot collected materials about flooding in the North Caucasus Federal District republics in the spring of 2026 on the thematic page "Flooding in the North Caucasus".
