GENEVA, Switzerland, 5 September 2008 -- When the conflict broke out last month in and around South Ossetia, Georgia, Solomon Surameli, a 10-year-old living in the frontline village of Brotsleti, fled south with his parents. For the past few days, he has been living in a tent city for displaced people on the outskirts of Gori, one of Georgia's largest cities. With their destroyed buildings and burnt-out cars, the streets of Gori show the toll of the recent fighting. The tented camp on the outskirts has swelled to hold 1,200 displaced people, while another 3,000 people are living in 22 collective centres set up in schools and kindergartens. The tented camp is being jointly operated by UNICEF, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, the World Food Programme and the International Red Cross. All of these partners are collaborating to provide displaced residents with water, food, blankets, bedding, medicine and other essential supplies. UNICEF recently distributed family kits in the camp. Each kit contains water buckets, jerry cans, soap and other items. To read the full story, visit: http://www.unicef.org/emerg/index_45519.html
