Southern Kyrgyzstan

About 2000 people were thought to be killed in the recent clashes in the southern Kyrgyzstan. A number of people, especially ethnic Uzbeks lost houses due to arsons and looting, and hundreds, or thousands, of IDPs still don't know where to move. Worked with Save the Children in Southern Kyrgyzstan. I've been based in Bishkek in the past month and will be here for a while.
