Artsakh has been under complete blockade for 10 days already. On the morning of December 12, the Azerbaijani side, citing false environmental reasons, blocked the Lachin corridor, which is the only road connecting Artsakh with Armenia and the outside world.

Artsakh InfoCenter informs that as a result of Azerbaijani actions, the 120,000 population of Artsakh, of which 30,000 are children, are affected by a humanitarian crisis. 1,100 citizens, 270 of whom are minors, are unable to return home due to the blocked road. There are more than two dozen patients with serious health problems in the intensive care units of medical institutions in Artsakh. 13 of them are children who need urgent transfer to medical institutions in Armenia. 350 patients cannot receive medical care in Armenia. All planned operations have been temporarily suspended in Artsakh.

Every day, more than 400 tons of food and medicine cannot be delivered from Armenia to Artsakh. A complete transport blockade threatens with a shortage of food, medicines and fuel.
