CARE sleduje situaci v Náhorním Karabachu a je připravena poskytnout humanitární pomoc.

Praha, 26. září

Z Náhorního Karabachu uprchlo víc než 14 000 Arménů, a to jen pár dní poté, co Ázerbájdžán zahájil vojenskou akci v regionu, kde žilo 120 000 etnických Arménů. Organizace CARE aktuálně monitoruje situaci a je připravena lidem v nouzi okamžitě pomoct.

Náhorní Karabach CARE Čeká republika

Masový exodus následuje po téměř desetiměsíční blokádě Lačinského koridoru, který je jedinou silnicí spojující enklávu s Aménií. Blokáda způsobila vážnou humanitární krizi a odřízla region od dodávek potravin, pohonných hmot i léků. Už před znovuotevřením koridoru byli lidé podvyživení, vyčerpaní a zoufalí. O to víc jsou nyní zdrceni. Opouštějí totiž veškerý svůj majetek, domovy i naději na návrat. Překročení hranice trvá 10 až 14 hodin. Vážná je situace především pro děti. Právě na pomoc ženám a dětem se chce organizace CARE v tuto chvíli soustředit.

CARE Kavkaz v tuto chvíli ve spolupráci s místními partnerskými organizacemi posuzuje situaci a potřeby. Následně je organizace připravena ihned poskytnout například potraviny, hygienické potřeby i zimní výbavu.

V koordinaci s tamní občanskou společností CARE naplánuje střednědobou reakci na potřeby zranitelných žen a dětí, a to mimo jiné v oblasti psychosociální podpory, vody, sanitace či hygieny.

***PLEASE NOTE> NO CONSENT PROVIDED DUE TO " EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES"**" On September 19, Azerbaijan launched a military action in Nagorno-Karabakh territory. The capital of Nagorno-Karabakh, Stepanakert (Khankendi, as called by Azerbaijan) and the surrounding cities and villages have been shelled. An estimated 120,000 ethnic Armenians currently live in Nagorno-Karabakh. The Armenian government said 13,350 refugees crossed into the country from the enclave. Mobile and internet connection is intermittently disrupted. The situation has been preceded by months of tensions. Just prior to the start of the military action, the Azerbaijani side stated that Azerbaijani civilians and police have been killed due to landmines installed by the Armenian military in Nagorno-Karabakh. During the previous months, Nagorno-Karabakh has been the subject of the blockade of the Lachin corridor from the Azerbaijani side, the only connecting route for Nagorno-Karabakh people to Armenia, as the Azerbaijani side accused Armenia of using the route for transporting weapons. It resulted in an extreme shortage of food, medicine, and fuel for the population in the Nagorno-Karabakh mountainous region. On Monday, September 18, and following a joint agreement, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) was able to send humanitarian aid via the Lachin corridor. On the night of 25 September, an explosion at a fuel depot in Nagorno-Karabakh killed 20 people and injured hundreds more. Please use the following quote if applicable: “Over 14,000 Armenians have fled Nagorno-Karabagh for Armenia, days after Azerbaijan launched a military action in the region, which was home to 120,000 ethnic Armenians. Rivers of cars – this is how locals are describing a long line of cars jamming the road, which is stretching for kilometers. The mass exodus follows the almost a ten-month blockade of the Lachin corridor, which is the only road to connect the enclave to Armenia. The blockade had caused a severe humanitarian crisis, cutting off the region from food, fuel, and medicine supplies. People were already malnourished, exhausted and in despair, even before the corridor reopened. They are devastated as they are leaving behind all their belongings, homes, and hopes to return. It takes 10-14 hours to cross the border. Children are cold due to falling temperatures, hungry, exhausted, and scared.”
