SOS Armenia - helping people leaving Nagorno-Karabakh

The mass exodus follows a nearly 10-month blockade of the Lachin Corridor, the only road linking the enclave to Armenia. The blockade has caused a serious humanitarian crisis and cut off the region from food, fuel and medical supplies. People were already malnourished, exhausted and desperate before the corridor was reopened. Now they are all the more devastated. They are abandoning all their possessions, their homes and, unfortunately, their hope of returning. It takes between 10 and 14 hours to cross the border. The children are cold, hungry, exhausted and scared because of the dropping temperatures. CARE is ready to provide humanitarian aid!

CARE Caucasus is currently assessing the situation and needs in collaboration with local partner organizations. As a result, the organisation is ready to immediately provide items such as food, hygiene items and winter equipment.

In coordination with local civil society, CARE will plan a medium-term response to the needs of vulnerable women and children, including psychosocial support, water, sanitation and hygiene.
