Now, the country is facing a challenging time. This is a nation-wide disaster. From the other hand, positive signs are already there. The water is gradually going down. I believe that the next 10 days will be the most critical, however, measures are being taken on reconstruction across the country and elimination of the aftermath of the disaster. As I already said, the government will not leave a single citizen without the necessary care. All the costs you suffered due to floods will be compensated. Each citizen, family will be provided with care from the state. It’s a priority task for me now, said Head of State Tokayev.
