UN refugee agency (UNHCR) reported based on estimates provided by the Georgian government that up to 15,000 people have fled south from South Ossetia into Georgia proper. In addition, the agency said, some 73,000 people were displaced from the areas outside South Ossetia, including most of the population from Gori. Most of them have found shelter mainly in schools and kindergartens. Some of them were settled in a so called ‘town of tent’ outside Tbilisi.
