"ROSTOV-ON-DON, Russia - More than 50,000 people were evacuated from
flooded regions in southern Russia and at least two dozen people lost their
lives, emergency officials said Sunday.
The flooding, which began Tuesday after heavy rain, destroyed roads,
damaged power and telephone lines and caused sewage systems to overflow,
officials said.
President Vladimir Putin ( news - web sites) has ordered Prime Minister
Mikhail Kasyanov to form a commission to help southern Russia recover from
an estimated 3.2 billion rubles (dlrs 106 million) worth of damage, the
Interfax news agency reported Saturday."
