Residents of Sokha, Anklav district of Uzbekistan in Kyrgyzstan, distributed bread and water to residents of the Botken region (Kyrgyzstan) who left their homes as a result of the fighting on the Tajik-Kyrgyz border. This is reported by the site «24.kg».

On social networks, a video was distributed showing Uzbeks helping Kyrgyz people pass through the transit zone by looking at their car numbers.

«When passing cars with our numbers (Kyrgyz numbers - Ed.), citizens of Uzbekistan stop them and give them water and bread», - said a message.

It should be noted that more than 136,000 citizens were evacuated from the border villages of Botkensky and Lailak districts. Most of them passed through the transit corridor in the Sokh region.
