We have launched the SOS Armenia emergency appeal to help people fleeing Nagorno-Karabakh. Tens of thousands of people are fleeing to Armenia following the resumption of fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh on Tuesday, 19 September, and the subsequent surrender of the local authorities. Our team is already in the area and providing humanitarian aid in the form of food, mobility aids for people with disabilities, and safe spaces for children.
We are also supporting a network of local organisations helping people displaced by the conflict. The conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh has been a constant source of suffering since 1988.
"The situation is critical, with increasing numbers of people on the border. There are older people and families with small children. Many have taken only the basic things with them and lack adequate clothes, food, or hygiene items. We are relying on funds from our donors to respond to the civilian population's current needs," says Varduhi Dadunts, People in Need's Mission Director in Armenia.
"We will provide people with water, food, shopping vouchers, mattresses and blankets or clothes. We will help equip accommodation centres, support children and older people, and provide other basic humanitarian assistance. We are asking the public to contribute to our SOS Armenia emergency appeal," says Šimon Pánek, CEO of People in Need.
