Kyrgyzstan: Half million people need assistance

Wednesday, June 30, 2010

ACT Alliance, along with the United Nations, Red Cross and other non-governmental organisations estimate a total of 375,000 people are internally displaced people or returnees in Kyrgyzstan, most of whom are being accommodated by host families. They also put the number of internally displaced, returnees and host families needing food and other assistance at 560,000. ACT Alliance assessment to date has also identified a huge need for psychosocial recovery for fractured communities and traumatised civilians.

ACT is one of the five NGO representatives on the UN-led Humanitarian Coordination Team, also with the Red Cross in Kyrgyzstan. An ACT review on co-operation found ACT's work positive and effective, and clearly showed the added value of working together as an alliance.
