Kyrgyz refugee numbers may exceed 100,000

THE number of refugees fleeing ethnic violence in southern Kyrgyzstan for neighbouring Uzbekistan may soon rise to 100,000 or more, United Nations Special Envoy Miroslav Jenca said today.

"We received information from the Uzbek authorities that the number of refugees massed on the Uzbek side is 75,000, but this number is rising and may soon pass 100,000 people," Jenca told a news conference. He said the security situation on the Kyrgyz side of the border made it impossible to monitor numbers.
