"Emergency Evacuations and Prayers: Russian Cities Battle Devastating Floods"

The Russian city of Orenburg has issued mass evacuation orders as rapidly rising flood waters, caused by melting snow and ice, have forced over 120,000 people from their homes in the Urals and Siberia regions, as well as in Kazakhstan. Major rivers have overflowed, leading to widespread flooding and the evacuation of thousands of residents. The situation is also affecting other Russian regions, with water levels expected to peak within the next two weeks.
