DAGESTAN, September 8, Caucasus Times – Recently, a group of Dagestan doctors who had transported blood components to Beslan, on Friday3, came back after several days of extensive work at the scene.

The doctors led by Rasim Ramazanov, the head of surgery department of emergency center in the republic, appeared to be the first group from North Caucasus to aid at the scene. Dagestan physicians took part in many surgical operations dealing with gunshot and shrapnel wounds to head, burns and other serious cases, Mr. Ramazanov told Caucasus Times correspondent

On September 3 at least 67 injured people, largely schoolchildren, died in Beslan hospital due to severe gunshot wounds they suffered in the storm. Throughout the first hours of tragedy, according to Mr. Ramazanov, death toll has raised, there were so many fatalities mainly among children, some of them died while being transported to hospital due to deadly wounds.

The Dagestan surgeons had to work in very difficult conditions. The operating rooms in hospital all were overfilled so the physicians had to continue surgeries in the corridors. The doctors did not stop, changing one another in operating rooms, working the round-the-clock shift.

The “Free Eurasia” project is an independent media platform based in Prague, with an ambitious mission to provide the regions of Central Asia and the Caucasus with high-quality, objective and timely information in their national languages. We unite the expertise of editors and journalists working in Tajik, Uzbek, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Circassian, Avar and Russian to break the monopoly of state-run Russian-language media and amplify the voices of local communities. Direction Our work focuses on comprehensive coverage of social, political, economic and cultural developments in Central Asia and the Caucasus, as well as the issues facing diasporas in Russia, Turkey, China and other countries. We produce news, analytical articles, video reports, podcasts, interviews and journalistic investigations. Special attention is paid to topics rarely addressed by state media: human rights violations, corruption, ethnic and cultural identity, migration and international relations. We strive to engage audiences of all ages, with a particular emphasis on young people and residents of remote regions, offering them digital content in their native languages. Goal Our main goal is to promote the development and sustainability of independent media in Central Asia and the Caucasus. We aim to strengthen the region’s informational sovereignty by expanding access to truthful sources and raising media literacy. At the same time, we support the development of national languages as key elements of identity and cultural heritage, encouraging public discussion and engagement. The project seeks to become a catalyst for building a strong civil society and defending democratic values, helping to train new professional journalists and fostering international cooperation.
