On 10.1.01, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) funded by the EC Humanitarian Aid Office (ECHO) suspended their operations in Chechnya until further notice due to the security situation in the region. This suspension follows the kidnapping of an American humanitarian aid worker (Mr Kenny Gluck) employed by Médecins Sans Frontières (Holland). |
