Georgia/Russian Federation: assistance through rapid deployment makes the difference
President Kellenberger said that the ICRC's assessment is that there are about 80,000 displaced people in Georgia. This figure includes Georgians from South Ossetia, Gori and villages in western Georgia.
"Thanks to an efficient rapid deployment programme, we have succeeded in mounting our operation in Georgia very quickly. The initial push will assist 25,000 people over one month, and has already assisted 7,000 people in Georgia,with food and non-food items," he said. The ICRC has also helped restore access to safe drinking water and provided sanitation support to a substantial number of displaced people.

Somalia: ICRC mounts relief operation for half a million people
"We are witnessing the worst tragedy of the past decade in Somalia", said Pascal Hundt, head of the ICRC's delegation for Somalia. "The living conditions for many families are extremely difficult. People are completely exhausted from the non-stop struggle to survive. Amidst the ongoing armed conflict and other violence, finding water and food for the family is a daily challenge. Shelter and medical attention are also increasingly difficult to obtain."
The ICRC is significantly stepping up its humanitarian relief work in Somalia to respond to the deepening crisis there.(Help the ICRC) |
