Last year, 26 Sami villages applied for the case of disaster injury protection. 24 of them were granted support.
So far this year, the Sami Parliament has received 14 applications. But it is increasing rapidly and right now a new application is coming in almost every day, according to the Sami Parliament.
Just like last year, Norrbotten is most affected by bad grazing conditions. Eleven of the 14 applications come from Sami villages in Norrbotten. The other three applications come from Sami villages in Västerbotten.
The Sami Parliament has now started grazing checks. The last application date is February 15.
