The refugees cross the border to cultivate the land or to do small jobs in Abkhazia. The lack of opportunities has driven some of the IDPs (Internally Displaced Persons), who formerly lived in the region of Gali near to the Northern border, which is now de facto closed, to return spontaneously to Abkhazia in search of work, at considerable risk to their lives, in the hope of earning a minimum income for their families.
