As real winter has arrived to Georgia, the EU Monitoring Mission continues to monitor whether conflict affected communities have the necessary resources for heating. Special patrols have been conducted to rural areas and IDP collective centres to gather information as to how the population and authorities had prepared for the cold weather.
Although the Mission cannot provide any humanitarian aid, it has shared its findings with the relevant Georgian authorities and various organisations that have the capacity to provide assistance for those people in need. Earlier, the Head of Mission asked at the Incident Prevention and Response Mechanism meeting in Ergneti for leniency towards those crossing the Administrative Boundary Line unintentionally when collecting firewood.
