Georgia’s Minister of Internally Displaced Persons from the Occupied Territories, Accommodation and Refuges, Sozar Subari, gifted newly renovated apartments to 21 Internally Displaced families in capital Tbilisi.
For many years the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) lived in the suburban building administered by a private owner.
The Ministry stated that the IDPs had to pay rent for the accommodations that were beyond any normal, living standards.
The Ministry dealt with the owner who took the responsibility to renovate the property and the Government purchased the building for the IDPs.
The Ministry has already purchased 431 flats in Tbilisi, out of which 231 have already been gifted to IDPs; the remaining 200 apartments will be handed to vulnerable sections of society this year.
Last year, the Government gifted accommodations to 561 IDP families.
