On 27 December 2008 the Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers ordered the central government agencies and the Yevpatoria administration to provide the victims of the blast and the families of those killed with new housing and all financial compensations they are entitled to by January 1, 2009. The Education and Science Ministry has been instructed to make sure that the children from the families who suffered from the incident be provided with free school instruction.
The government also ordered that tougher control measures be taken in the gas supply industry to prevent new accidents.[5]
Gas explosions trendedit
A similar gas explosion in Dnipropetrovsk in October 2007, killed 23 victims.[6]
Gas explosions in crumbling apartment buildings are often caused by improper use or a poorly maintained infrastructure.[7] They are common occurrences in former Soviet states, particularly in the winter, when residents use more heating.[6]
