吉尔吉斯斯坦临时领导人奥通巴耶娃说，多达2000人可能在吉尔吉斯斯坦南部发生的种族暴乱中丧生。这个数字是官方估计死亡数字的十倍。
自从6月10号南部城市奥什和贾拉拉巴德的吉尔吉斯族人和乌兹别克族人之间爆发骚乱以来，奥通巴耶娃星期五首次来到这个地区。
这位吉尔吉斯斯坦临时领导人在严密保安下抵达动乱地区。她说，她的政府正在努力重建城市，好让人们可以重返家园。
联合国估计有多达100万人受到种族暴乱的影响，包括近40万难民已越过边界进入乌兹别克斯坦或聚集在乌兹别克边界附近。
与此同时，美国助理国务卿罗伯特.布莱克访问了吉尔吉斯斯坦和乌兹别克斯坦边界附近乌兹别克斯坦一方的难民营和医院，并且和一些难民进行了交谈。布莱克呼吁对暴力事件及其起源展开调查。
Interim Kyrgyz leader Roza Otunbayeva says up to 2,000 people may have been killed in ethnic violence that has rocked southern Kyrgyzstan, ten times the official estimate.
Ms. Otunbayeva on Friday made her first visit to the region since the riots between ethnic Kyrgyz and Uzbeks began June 10 in the southern cities of Osh and Jalalabad.
The interim leader arrived in Osh accompanied by heavy security and said her government will do everything it can to rebuild the city so people can return home.
The United Nations estimates that as many as 1 million people have been affected by the unrest, including nearly 400,000 refugees who have crossed into Uzbekistan or massed near the Uzbek border.
U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Robert Blake spoke with some of the refugees Friday during a visit to a camp and a hospital on the Uzbek side of the border. Blake called for an investigation into the violence and how it began.
