Chemical storage facilities serve as refugee center
Chechen refugees living in the Satsita tent camp on the outskirts of the village of Ordzhonikidzevskaya, Ingushetia's Sunzha district, are being resettled to the sadly known temporary accommodation center in the so called "Oskanovskiye garages". As of today, four families have moved there. This center is situated on the territory of former chemical storage facilities in Ordzhonikidzevskaya. Several dozens of refugee families from the liquidated Bella tent camp were lodged there last year. But the health of many children deteriorated almost the very first evening, they felt giddy, and their bodies covered with a rash. It was established later that the most likely reason of it was that chemical storage facilities had been situated in the "Oskanovskiye garages" earlier. In a few days, all the refugees resettled from the Bella camp were evicted from this center by the Ingush special police force.
