Georgia and Russia

United Jewish Communities/the Federations of North America opened an emergency mailbox yesterday for Jews and the general population in the Democratic Republic of Georgia/South Ossetia, which has been engulfed in a military conflict since last week. JDC and JAFI have already begun assisting the local Jewish community, which is estimated at 7,000-12,000 people. All funds raised through the emergency mailbox will support JAFI and JDC's relief work.

A blog called "The Georgia Crisis" at ujc.org/georgiacrisisblog will carry updates and dispatches from JDC and JAFI officials in the region.
