Girl Suffers Severe Trauma After Astana Bus Accident; City Provides Aid

On June 2nd, 2025, a tragic accident in Astana, Kazakhstan, left a young girl, Aluabeken, severely injured. The accident involved a bus collision, leaving Aluabeken with injuries requiring multiple skin graft surgeries. Her mother, Mahabbat Tleubekova, described her daughter's traumatic psychological response: "My girl is under anesthesia after a second skin graft operation. She's in shock, pulling her hair, screaming, and crying constantly." The family is facing substantial medical costs, and Aluabeken's uncle, Bakhtiyar Serikov, noted the need for expensive prosthetics, potentially in Turkey or Germany. The Astana Akimat responded by providing the family with housing and 10 million tenge in aid. This incident highlights the need for road safety improvements and support systems for families facing such crises. The SHYNDYK.KZ editorial team continues to monitor the situation.
