Zhana, a Georgian/Ossetian girl who is currently living at the Mkurnali Association in Avlibari, just gave birth to a healthy baby girl, Elene.
Zhana is a refugee from a previous conflict in South Ossetia, and like many refugees has no identity papers. Without papers, she was denied government assistance to pay for the birth of her baby. Luckily a priest in the Georgian Orthodox church was able to find a sponsor for her medical bills. The day the conflict broke out between Georgia and South Ossetia, Zhana went into labor and had her baby by cesarian section in a hospital.
