MOSCOW. Dec 7 (Interfax) - More than 150,000 people in Chechnya still live as refugees, representatives of humanitarian organizations said.
"The bulk of the Chechen population live under unsatisfactory conditions, and more than 150,000 live as internally displaced persons," says the 2006 work plan for the North Caucasus introduced by nine UN agencies and 13 non-governmental organizations on Wednesday in Moscow.
"The temporary settlements created by the [Chechen] government turned out to be not temporary as intended, and many of them need repairs. People who lost their apartments cannot claim compensation; that is why many wretched families cannot return to normal life," the document says.
