Russian Rescuers Save Families and Animals Amidst Flooding

Villagers in a remote part of Russia had to be rescued from floodwaters.

The water came from heavy rain, and it covered many homes.

Rescue teams used boats to help people, their farm animals, and even pets like a hamster, get to safety.

Many children were among the people rescued.

The area has a history of extreme weather events, with scientists saying that the climate crisis makes it worse.

This week alone, nearly 100 houses were flooded across eight villages.
