Georgia / South Ossetia: Home is where hope dwells

Many of elderly, disabled or people with a low income in conflict affected communities face difficult living conditions daily. Since 2022, the ICRC has been helping vulnerable people in villages in South Ossetia to keep warm. To complement the regular quarterly support of food and essential household items, the ICRC began to renovate or insulate a room in an existing home or install a trailer where the house cannot be repaired to improve their living conditions. Here are some of the stories of the 35 people we have been able to assist so far.
