With support from Japan UNHCR helped people affected by emergency in Batken, Kyrgyzstan (Kyrgyz)
UNHCR Central Asia
Description
UNHCR received USD 500,000 from Japan to aide internally displaced people and returnees affected by escalation of violence at Kyrgyz-Tajik border in 2022 with protection, emergency shelter and winterization assistance. As part of the project, UNHCR, through the Red Crescent Society of Kyrgyzstan, supplied displaced people, returnees and host communities with essential core relief items, coal for heating, and emergency shelter to protect them from the cold winter until their homes are restored. The contribution from Japan also enabled UNHCR, in cooperation with NGO Fergana Valley Lawyers without Borders, to help restoring property and civil documents, including birth certificates to ensure that displaced persons have legal proof of identity to access essential services, social benefits and humanitarian assistance.
