Brussels
The European Commission has approved two Million Euros in humanitarian aid to support people affected by the conflict between Abkhazia and Georgia.
The beneficiaries of the aid include internally displaced persons in Georgia as well as returnees in Abkhazia.
Western Georgia, in particular Abkhazia, continues to be plagued by forgotten humanitarian needs.
The conflict which erupted in 1992 in the breakaway republic of Abkhazia led to the displacement of over 250,000 people.
This decision will focus on internally displaced persons in Western Georgia and especially Abkhazia. Food will be distributed to about 2,000 destitute persons in Abkhazia, while food security projects will target 1,500 vulnerable people by giving them the means to start food generating activities.
in addition, emergency shelters will be repaired and living conditions will be improved.
The European Commission has, since 2000, allocated eleven Million Euros in humanitarian aid for the affected population in Georgia.
