In this region, and particularly in Chechnya, the ICRC is doing its utmost to provide vitally needed assistance and protection for a population hard hit by over 10 years of conflict.

Malgobek district, Ingushetia. An ICRC employee and a local official talking with each other in front of ICRC-built drinking-water tanks serving a village playing host to many people displaced from Chechnya. The tanks are connected to the mains system, which was extended under 3,200 metres of streets by municipal water workers under ICRC supervision. Thanks to this project, the villagers and displaced people no longer have to depend on trucked-in water supplies.
