ICRC allocates $21 million for relief programs in North Caucasus

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) will allocate about $21 million for relief programs in the North Caucasus in 2004.

This sum is on the level of the last year, reported a source at the ICRC's branch office. The ICRC has been working in Russia since 1992, the source reminded.

About 140 thousand people from socially unprotected sections of population, including displaced persons from Chechnya, are expected to receive humanitarian aid this year. They will get foodstuff and goods of first priority.

Besides, the ICRC is going to support the reconstruction of infrastructure, particularly, of water supply and sewerage, in Chechnya, Ingushetia, and Dagestan, as well as to contribute to the reconstruction of hospitals and temporary accommodation centers in these regions.
