Latest figures gathered by the Georgian government and UNHCR show that the total number of people displaced by the recent conflict stands at 192,000.

Nearly a month after heavy violence and destruction in the Georgia region displaced some 160,000 civilians, tens of thousands remain crammed into temporary shelters and many lack the most basic services. More than 1,500 displaced people, mostly ethnic Georgians from Russian-occupied areas, packed a tent camp in Gori that was established for 1,000 individuals only a week ago. The International Rescue Committee rapidly constructed 50 latrines, 25 showers and a dozen water points at the camp to ensure families there have clean drinking water and adequate washing and sanitation facilities. More will be built to meet the growing need.
