A water disaster has struck Dagestan! Over 110 people, mostly children, have been hospitalized due to mass water poisoning in the Magaramkent district. Yes, you read that right – more than a hundred people, and most of them are kids! Acting district chief Fejrudin Ragimhanov has called the situation alarming. The Russian consumer watchdog Rospotrebnadzor found multiple cases of intestinal infections in five villages: Magaramkent, Kuysun, Gilar, Gapchah, and Verkhniy Tagirkent. An epidemiological investigation is underway, and preliminary data points to contaminated drinking water as the culprit. How is it possible in the 21st century that people are drinking water that is poisoning them en masse? Is this just the tip of the iceberg of neglect and poor management? Children are the most vulnerable, and something like this should never happen in a civilized society. This situation casts a dark shadow over Dagestan’s health system and responsible authorities. Will anyone be held accountable? Or will it all end with empty promises and apologies? As the outbreak spreads, people are left wondering – what’s next? Got a weird water story from your area? Share it and let’s see if this is a local mess or a global water nightmare!
