After 5 days of fighting, situation in Georgia seems slowly coming back to normality: everywhere you can find news and photos about the war began on August, 8th 2008, while the Olympic flame was burning in Beijing sky. Georgia, South Ossetia or Russia: we must don’t care who is the guilty here, because the only victims are the people in the towns; the people who lost everything, their houses, their relatives, their friends, just because of someone else who wanted this fights.
A friend of me, georgian, told me: “I don’t care about Ossetia and Abkhazia: I just want my friends to come back safe„ and this is and was the thought of everyone there, who was helplessly watching and hearing news, without knowing exactly what was going on and how the situation would have evolved.
Those people lived in South Ossetia and in other regions of Georgia, mainly in the cities of Tskhinvali and Gori, that have been destroyed and all evacuated: actually more than 21.000 people have lost everything and live in refugee camps; and no one of them is responsible for what is happened: Salvador Dalì said that “Wars have never hurt anybody, except the people who die„.
Georgia is a great country, with a great history, which has always been in fighting to defend its territory and its ancient traditions; it is a place that you must visit once in your life, you will never regret this and you probably, as happened to me, would like much to come back. Those people need help: I decided to write this page hoping I could do something for them; I cannot stop the war, I cannot repair what has been destroyed these days: but I can help people to return to their normal lives, step by step, by donating them something.

I liked the article, it reflects the reality of the events happening here, in Georgia… Although nobody knows fully what is going on there, in the conflict area… the fact is that russians are treating violently to the innocent population…
I appeal you all to give a hand to homeless people, their number is huge indeed and they need our help!!
thanks in advance!!
Thanks for your support

kargi bichi xar davide…thanks for your help
Your should better to help homeless osetian people, whom suffered from georgian aggression.
AFAIK (friend of my friend right now in Georgia, see his blog here with pics and texts in russian – http://sirjones.livejournal.com/ ) destruction of civilian’s private property from russian airstrikes are minimal (if any) in contrast of devastated area of South ossetia with hundreds (or even thousands) murdered by georgian troops.
Russians say georgian destroied everything; georgians say russians did the same. I have great friends who have always the smile on that are shocked as I couldn’t imagine to see them because of what they saw in Georgia: I do not think the people who lost friends, house and everything cares about “who did the most damages”.
All the news lies: both georgians and ossetian civils are just victims and nobody of them wanted this war. Let’s try to forget who is the guilty and just do something to help who has been damaged by stupidity of the humans.
> All the news lies: both georgians and ossetian civils are just victims and nobody of them wanted this war.
But who started this conflict?
> Let’s try to forget who is the guilty
Trying to forget about (war, in this case) crimes is the first step to self-destruction of whole mankind. If we’ll forget (and wont punish, therefore) about crimes, we’ll allow them to repeat.
That’s why after WWII nobody wished to forget about crimes but rather wanted to convicted in court all Nazi officials.
I’m a bit confused because I feel that I’m trying to explain you obvious things…
I don’t mean we should forget the war; just that all the people there were innocent: we should help them all, they are just victims.
It looks like Georgia’s attack followed weeks of escalating provocations (see http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/guest_contributors/article4488503.ece) but anyone says something different.
Anyway, again, we lost the aim of this page: helping innocent victims, georgians, ossetians or whatever. Nothing else and nothing more.
Thank you Dato for the aricle.. & I hope it will help to homeless people..they are just victims
I would like to address Peter Lemenkov, victim of the Russian soviet style war propaganda.
May be you should take a look what your bloody army has done in Georgia http://www.sosgeorgia.org
Minimal damage?! 4000 killed, 180000 displaced, infrastructure destroyed, people in terror, looting, burning, killing civilians, raping. Can’t you recognize Peace Russian Style?!
Fucken aggressors Drunk and hungry for blood. History will punish you all for that.
STOP RUSSIAN AGGRESSION!!!

Davide, Thank you for your support. Georgian people never forget who was next to them during this criminal time.
Russian occupants OUT!
Arapris, I just try to help somehow
Please, don’t argue anyway: just help here! 
@ Peter Lemenkov and all the others:
Does it really matter who started? Do we need to go back to the annexation of Georgia into USSR? Talk about Chechnia (it is a breakaway region like Abkhazia, isn’t it?) Come one, we are talking about human lives! This crazyness must be stopped NOW! That’s the only thing that counts!
As a sidenote, my partner has got struck in Georgia because she had to renew the visa. Imagine what, she cannot travel back because Russians have gone much deeper than needed. Talking about war sitting on a sofa is just a nonsense.
Despite of that agreement they have concluded with us or with Sarkozi (now it dont metter),they oppress us,they are stealing launches,direct-current generators,military uniforms,beds,they have burnt down our NAVY in POTI,they cannt take everything with so they just burn it:( they burn our forest in BORJOMI, what else they can do? if they are in a mood,they just kill or riddle us . It hurts so much… I hate them, ”hate” it even cannot picture what i feel……It more than a WAR and more than a hell…
Grazie Davide! Sei bravo e fai una cosa davvero bella. Anche io sto cercando ad aiutare queste famiglie.sono triste per loro e capisco perfettamente il loro dolore, anni fa’ anche la mia famiglia era nella stessa situazione ed e’ indescrivibile tutto quello che in questi casi pensino queste persone. Noi dobbiamo cercare di aiutare chi come possiamo.Io cxome una georgianna ti ringrazio con tutto il cuore
Thanks so much for your kindness
