Thousands of people driven from their homes in southern Kyrgyzstan by recent ethnic violence are in dire need of assistance.

The IRC’s Emergency Response Team is in Osh and surrounding areas—looking at ways to provide assistance in the areas of emergency shelter, water, sanitation and protection for especially vulnerable groups. 

The IRC is also supporting a partner on the ground by funding deliveries of food, hygiene items and medical supplies.
