Очень интересно как работает
OCHA...
было очень интересно чуток почуaствовать их моментальную и очень четкую реакцию на происшествие на Запaде Украины. И сейчас читать о их работе в Грузии.
"The situation on the ground is deteriorating, sparking a significant movement of population."
-- Elisabeth Byrs of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), speaking as aid agencies renewed their appeal for opening humanitarian corridors which would provide safe and unhindered access to civilians caught up in the conflict in Georgia.
Last week Georgia launched an offensive to retake the pro-Russian region of South Ossetia which broke away from Georgian rule in 1992. Moscow responded with a huge counter-offensive. Nearly 100,000 people have been driven from their homes by the conflict in Georgia, the UN refugee agency said. Fighting and insecurity are preventing them from entering South Ossetia. A UNHCR cargo plane carrying shelter and other aid supplies for civilians landed in the Georgian capital Tbilisi on Aug. 12 morning, to be followed later in the day by medical supplies being flown in by the International Committee of the Red Cross, officials said.
