On 7 February the Human Security Team of EUMM Field Office Zugdidi met Irakli Kochua, the newly appointed Head of regional office of the Ministry of Internally Displaced Persons from the Occupied Territories, Accommodation and Refugees of Georgia (MRA).
It was explained that although EUMM is not an NGO and does not provide humanitarian aid, while patrolling in the area the monitors gather information on livelihood issues of IDPs and vulnerable families, especially along the Administrative Boundary Line. This information is then passed on to organisations that have the possibility to provide the necessary assistance - the MRA, for example.
