Israelis Aid Georgians
Jerusalem Post — Israeli aid organiza-
tions have established several opera-
tions in the war-torn areas of Georgia
seeking to aid tens of thousands of
locals displaced by the fighting with
Russia last month.
Among the aid organizers is IsraAID,
an umbrella organization of dozens of
Israeli humanitarian groups. A member
group, Israel Flying Aid, has opened a
soup kitchen in the town of Gori that
produces 3,000 cooked meals a day.
Gori entered the international
spotlight in mid-August as Russian
tanks captured the town. It is now
home to an estimated 65,000 refugees,
approximately half of whom are ethnic
Georgians who fled South Ossetia once
the fighting began, while the rest either
saw their homes destroyed in the fight-
ing in Gori or abandoned homes in the
"buffer zone" — a swath of land north
of the town which Russian forces con-
tinue to occupy.
