IHH gave monetary relief to Chechen orphans living as refugees in Azerbaijan before the fest.
IHH relief work for Chechen refugees continues. Chechen orphans receive a monthly stipend from IHH to meet their basic needs but this remains just sufficient to do just that and no more.
About 500 Chechen orphan children now live in Azerbaijan among the nearly 6 thousand Chechen refugees there. Chechen refugees have taken shelter in Azerbaijan, Ingushetia, Turkey and other neighboring countries because of the war that began in 1994 and stopped only to begin again in 1999. The people want peace and this 7 year-old refugee status to end to they can get on with the lives. IHH relief for Chechen refugees includes housing and health expenses along with monthly food distributions.
