Report from Ingushetia
Migrants from temporary camps in Ingushetia started dying of supercooling
[undercooling]
In Ingushetia because of irregular supply of refugee camps with gas and electricity,
many camps found themselves in a critical situation, which poses a threat
to human lives and health. Migrants from tent camps are in the most serious
state: because of low temperature and insufficient supply of food many people
are ill and die of supercooling. For instance, Ali Ezirbaev, born in 1956,
who lives in one of administrative buildings of the town Karabulak,
became a victim of severe frosts and
Migrant Service representatives who refused to provide refugee camps on the
territory of Ingushetia with vitally important warmth. He was taken to the
town hospital in a very serious state.
In the migrant camp "Bart", situated in the same settlement, a two-week-old
baby died. His mother Tumisha Kukueva still cannot recover from shock..

Danish Council members were forced to leave a migrant camp in Ingushetia
On December 12, 2002. Danish Council members brought a few dozens of new
tents to the tent camp "Bart", situated in the town Karabulak, in order to
change the old ones that have become absolutely unsuitable in the winter
period. When a small part of humanitarian goods was unloaded, militiamen,
Migrant Service representatives and the camp commandant Pliev ordered to
stop it and leave the territory of the camp.
In spite of migrants' protests, the tent camp administration and law-enforcement
servicemen forced Danish Council members to drive away. Still people managed
to put some new tents over the old ones.
Camp residents demanded to explain why such an outrageous crime is committed
when migrants started to bury children who had died of low temperature, when
women and old people suffer from cold.
The camp commandant and soldiers answered that according to the order of
higher institutions nothing can be done on the territory of the camp without
special permission of Migrant Service in Ingushetia.
