When contacted, those who stay on the spot tell us that they are hiding in the forest. The tanks are raiding the city, the armed people go into the houses, they take everything that they like e.g. equipment, everything. They rob houses and then put them on fire. Hey burn absolutely everything. We left at 5 o'clock and we arrived in Tbilisi at 12:00. Just as we speak one of us heard that her father lost life-he was there.
We don't know whether our neighbors are alive. We cannot contact them on phone.
The father and mother in law of my relative are there and we cannot get in touch with them either. They could not walk. We could not imagine the situation would escalate at this scale. They did not leave together with us.
