Georgia. A hushed elegy. Georgian refugees from Abkhazia and South Ossetia
Add to Lightbox DownloadIMG 3330 GEORGIA. Zugdidi. 2007. An elderly deaf mute woman is making bread in her flat. They use portable electric stoves to cook. Most of these lodgings are not supplied with drinking water, gas and heating. Many old people live alone and are among the most vulnerable members of society, together with children. Poverty and malnutrition are common phenomena, as are psychological traumas resulting from the experience of armed conflict. Pensions amount to about 12 lari (6 euros) per month, which means they are living below the minimum poverty level.
