The UN Human Rights Commission should send a fact-finding mission to Lachine Corridor - RA Human Rights Defender |factor.am|

The UN Human Rights Commission should send a fact-finding mission to the Lachine Corridor. RA human rights defender Kristine Grigoryan announced this in a tweet.

"The UN Human Rights Commission should send a fact-finding mission to Lachin Corridor blocked already for 17th day - the only way to have a clear understanding of the matter. And yes, the mere fact that only ICRC emblemed vehicles move in and out proves that the blockade continues," the RA human rights defender wrote on Twitter.

It should be reminded that since December 12, Azerbaijan has closed the Lachin Corridor connecting Artsakh to Armenia, as a result of which 120,000 residents of Artsakh, including 30,000 children, were under siege. 1100 civilians, including 270 minors, cannot return from Armenia to Artsakh.

Because of the blockade, it is not possible to deliver 400 tons of food and medicine from Armenia to Artsakh every day, as a result of which there is a shortage of food and medicine.

350 patients cannot receive treatment in Armenia. 21 patients, including children, are in the intensive care unit. During these days, two Armenians and 4 foreigners in need of emergency medical care were transferred to Armenia only through the mediation of the Red Cross, and one of the patients in Artsakh who needed medical care and was in critical condition died.
