Roofless refugeesTimur Aliyev, North Caucasus - On September 29, twelve families of Chechen refugees in Ingushetia were roofless during the rain.
The refugees, among whom were nearly 30 children, had to move from the Bella camp to the nearby Satsita camp because their old tents had been dismantled; however, new tents had not yet been built. "When the torrential rain started, we had to stay virtually in an open field," they said.
The refugees were finally given shelter by their old and new neighbours in the Satsita camp. The rain went on till the morning of the next day.
Earlier Chechen authorities decided that tent refugee camps in Ingushetia had to be dismantled by October. (A/E,T) |
