Georgia War: Refugees Near Tblisi The human wave of homeless people continues to pour into Tblisi as a result of the Georgian-Russian conflict. By today special reception centres in old barracks and local schools had received more than 70,000 displaced people. By today the number is predicted to reach some 85,000. The number of reception centres has increased from 100 to 500 in the last three days in order to house this avalanche of homeless people. This footage was made available to illustrate the work of the Commission's ECHO aid programme on the ground in Georgia. The European Commission Humanitarian Aid office has already committed 1 MIL EUR to help those affected by the war. Now a team of experts is assessing what else needs to be done. Thousands of displaced people are now arriving in the capital city of Georgia, Tiblisi. Only yesterday a tented city was set up for the homeless people. Today the camp was repidly filling up with men, women and children who have escaped from the war zone. A team of European Commission Humanitrian Aid department' s experts has arrived in the area to assess the humanitarian needs of the displaced people. One of the members of the EC team, Daniela Cavini, spent the day talking to the new arrivals at the tented city. One woman told her that she had been forced to leave behind in Gori her husband and her 86 year old mother in law, who was too weak to make the journey. Ms Cavini said that displaced people need shelter, food, and other essential items for living. Local authorities are under a heavy pressure to meet the demands of the homeless: in only a few days, the number of reception centres has doubled. Europen Union Ambassador to Georgia, Per Elkund, went to see for himself the distribution of relief aid funded by the Humanitarian Aid office of the EC. When he arrived at the children sanatorium now converted into a reception centre, he found that local officials were refusing to cut the custom seal on the lorry; he had to persuade them to do it, in order to allow the matresses to be distributed to the families. After winning the release of the mattresses Ambassador Elkund said that he was proud that the EC has managed to act so quickly and sending aid to the homeless.

Emotional Kouchner on 'Barbaric' War in Georgia TRANSLATION HERE!!! French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner, who earlier in his career founded the group Doctors Without Borders (MSF), becomes a bit emotional when asked who are the "good guys" and "bad guys" in the Georgia War. Translation from French: It is not a moral judgement which is needed for this war, Madam, it is not a judgement function Human Rights, it is political practice of the work on the ground, it is the stop of the war which counts, and why we went there. Afterwards, everything is allowed. But all these massacres and dead people, when we listen as I did, when I visited the hospital in Gori -and I know well the war practices- and I have gone to the other side and listen the refugees who came from Osetia, we see the urgency which is needed to end this barbarian. This war where they have been deployed excessive forces and unbearable bombings. We are asked to say who are the good ones and who are the bad ones. We are not going to answer this now. The EU will try to intervene and afterwards, as Javier and Olli have said, there is a political work obviously. An we will start it the fastest as possible.
