The current conflict has claimed over 100,000 lives and left towns and cities in ruins. More than 350,000 people fled the country. Those remaining in Chechnya endure crushing poverty and difficult living conditions. Hundreds of thousands of Chechens have sought refuge in the neighboring Republic of Ingushetia. They endure squalid, overcrowded conditions in temporary settlements, tent camps or with host families. They lack basic food, medication, clean water and sanitation as well as endure severe winter temperatures
Islamic Relief in Chechnya
Islamic Relief was one of the first relief agencies to provide aid to Chechnya and has been working in the Northern Caucasus since 1995. Currently Islamic Relief works in villages across the Nazran region in Ingushetia as well as in and around the area of the Chechen capitol Grozny. Islamic Relief provides food, clean water, shelter and primary medical care. The situation in Chechnya remains uncertain, but Islamic Relief continues in its effort to help the Chechen people survive.
