I lived in the village Krabi (district of Gori) with my husband Zaza Anishvili, my mother-in-law Meditso Papaelashvili, 2 sons Jemal and Omar and my daughter Medea.
on 9 August it was about 7 when the Russian Aircrafts began attacking, 3-4 houses were destroyed, Some people died, among them Dodo Unapkoshvili. Valerian Unapkoshvili got injured. 8-10 head of cattle were slaughtered.
The same day at about 1 I witnessed the second air strike by Russian aircrafts. The air attack completely destroyed Mamuka Tevdorashvili's house and slaughtered people. Mamuka Tevdorashvili, Tsiala Bidzinashvili, Nazi Tevdorashvili, Amiran Tevdorashvili, Anzor Bidzinashvili, Valiko Shevardenidze, they all died. Meditso Aniashvili, Rusudan Rcheulishvli, Temo Tevdorashvili got injured. By that time Georgian military units were in the village. My mother-in-law and I were at home when the air strike took place, it damaged my house and completely destroyed or damaged houses of Gocha Shevardenidze, Amiran Tevdorashvili and Nikoloz Tevdorashvili. We, peaceful civilians, were in danger. Valiko Shevardenidze died in the street and Anzor Bidzinashvili died a bit later because of terrible corporal injury.
On 9 August I left my house and went to Village Tkviavi on foot where someone took me by a car to Gori to my relatives and then I went to Tbilisi

On August 6th the shootings started in the village and on august 8-9 Russian planes started bombing us. One bomb fell near our house, which caused the death of my father - it cut his legs. We buried him in the yard of our house. The roof of the house and whole building was damaged. We had some poultry, pigs and four cows. We had to leave the house, but we could not take our old grandmother with us. We don't know if our house is destroyed or our property is taken.
The bombing of our village and the neighbour villages lasted about four days. It was impossible to stay there after we buried father. I left with my brother's family for Tbilisi and now we live in the building of school # 115.
There was an army at the end of our village which was being bombed by Russian planes. Actually we were in the middle of the war.
Besides my father five more men and three women died during the bombing of the village . I saw everything with my own eyes. Four were wounded. I saw how those people were dying next to my father. My father died in my arms.

I used to live in the village called Karbi with my family, wife - Dali Meparidze and son – Goga Bidzinashvili.
Shootings began on 6th of August, bombardments started on 8th or 9th of August. I have lost my dad on 9th of August, bombs killed him. At that time I was in Tskhinvali serving my military duty. As a result of the bombardments my dad lost legs and died instantly. We buried him in our backyard. After getting some information on 9th of August I brought my family to Tbilisi. Bombs have damaged my house. I have left everything in Karbi. I was not even able to get my grandmother out of there. We don't know exactly what happened after we left, but we know for sure that they are burning down our houses, killing people and destroying everything on their way.

I used to live in Karbi, which is part of district of Gori. I used to work at home. My family's financial welfare was increasing day-by-day thanks to the long hours of uninterrupted work. I had 4 cows, a lot of chicken. I had one TV at home bought on credit and with the help of the government. But I have lost everything due to the recent events. Whole region of Shida Qartli has been destroyed during August events. I have sent my wife and two children to Tbilisi, because I was scared for their lives. Our village was being bombed by Russian airplanes. The things that I saw are hard to explain, I could not even dare to go out of my house.
My neighbors died while sleeping because one of the bombs exploded on their house. My neighbors' houses as well as mine are damaged.
I had to save myself and run away from the territory… right now I am in Tbilisi living in the public school # 115.
I beg god to protect Georgia and make it strong and united.

I headed to Tbilisi to my sister-in-law as my village was heavily and wholly shelled. One of the shells immediately killed 8 persons. Our houses are demolished. We left everything. I did not manage to take anything. We left in what we were wearing at the moment – muddy slippers and home clothes. My husband had a motorbike. We reached village of Tkviavi on it. We took my 81 years old, blind mother-in-law by this motorbike. Only walls are left from our house, there is nothing inside any more…
Now we were informed that our village is being destroyed, the houses are robbed and burnt. My brother-in-law has stayed there. He is hiding in the garden. He hopes to save something. People cannot stay in the villages. Previously they used to find shelter in basements, but now people are burnt alive in those basements. We saw ourselves dead people lying in the streets in our side of the village. It was not possible to burry them properly. They were wrapped in cellophane, the ground was dug and they were buried like that. People, no one believes in this! I don't know anything, had I seen it in the dream, I would have gone mad! But it all happened in front of us. Village of Karbi is destroyed. Let them go and see the situation there by themselves!
