MOSCOW, September 1 (RIA Novosti) - South Ossetia has so far received a total of 593.9 tons of foreign humanitarian aid, a Russian emergencies ministry source said on Monday.
"Belarus has sent 63 metric tons, Kazakhstan - 109, Uzbekistan - 280.8, Ukraine - 100, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees - 30.4, and Jordan - 10.7," the source said.
The cargo includes food, medicines, clothes and blankets, and does not include Russian aid.
Georgia attacked South Ossetia on August 8 in an attempt to regain control over the separatist republic, which split from Tbilisi in the early 1990s.
Most people living in South Ossetia have Russian citizenship and Moscow subsequently launched an operation to "force Georgia to accept peace." The operation was concluded on August 12.
Russia officially recognized the Georgian breakaway republics of South Ossetia and Abkhazia on Tuesday.
