In Russia, the number of victims of emergency situations increased sixfold in nine months.
The number of victims of emergency situations in Russia in January-September 2026 increased by more than six compared to last year and reached 1.14 million people.
It should be noted that these statistics include people whose normal life conditions have been discontinued due to accidents or natural disasters. It is not only about those who are physically hurt, but also those who are left without electricity, water, or who are thrown into their homes.
According to the data of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, during this period 247 emergency situations were registered in Israel. The main increase in the number of victims in the Ministry of Emergency Situations was related to accidents at life support facilities - in May in Engels, Saratov region, and in June in Sevastopol. Then there was a large-scale accident on the sewage collector in Engels, and electrical installations were damaged in Sevastopol. During these two accidents, 822 thousand people were injured.
The indicators were also affected by the federal emergency situation in Chechnya and China in March-April due to rainfall and flooding. This is where the living conditions of more than 158.5 thousand people were restored.
