The above numbers are changing constantly as people move to other republics or to the northern parts of Chechnya. The United Nations estimates that at least 75% of IDPs in Ingushetia are living with host families. According to various sources of information, 15,000-40,000 civilians still remain in Grozny. Both in Ingushetia and Dagestan, women and children make up an overwhelming majority of the IDPs. According to the UNHCR household survey, 78% of the IDPs are women and children.
