Beslan siege website

Canada's Globe and Mail carries a fascinating piece on a website set up in the wake of the Beslan siege by a dozen local residents, several of whom are teachers at Middle School Number 1.

Beslan.ru is compiling a list of all the victims, in what the Globe and Mail calls "filling in for a government gone AWOL in the wake of the siege".

The site - which is being translated into English - includes news on the political and social aftermath of the violence, appeals for help for the victims and their families, and details on how to donate money.

The Moscow News also has a story on how the people of Beslan are coping, which lists a couple of other sites with information on how to help them: the International Foundation for Terror Act Victims (in English) and the Russian Aid Foundation (which seems to be written in Russian only).

The Guardian's Moscow correspondent, Nick Paton Walsh, has written a special report on the massacre which is in today's Guardian, here.
