The truck of the International Committee of the Red Cross transported medicine and other supplies from Armenia provided by the RA Ministry of Health for the medical facilities of Artsakh. Zara Amatuni, head of the ICRC delegation's communication programs, informed about this.

"The burden does not belong to the ICRC. We only ensured safe transportation," he said, adding that the RA Ministry of Health provided the cargo.

Since December 12, 2022, Azerbaijan has closed the Lachin Corridor connecting Artsakh to Armenia, as a result of which 120,000 residents of Artsakh, including 30,000 children, are under siege. 1100 civilians, including 270 minors, cannot return to Artsakh from RA.

Because of the blockade, delivering 400 tons of food and medicine from RA to Artsakh every day is impossible. there is a shortage of food and medicine. 11 children are in the neonatal and intensive care units, and 8 patients are in the intensive care unit. 3 are in critical condition. During these days, 19 Armenians and 4 foreigners in need of emergency medical care were transferred to RA only through the mediation of the Red Cross, and one of the patients died in Artsakh.

Since January 10, due to the accident, the electricity supply in Artsakh is carried out through a limited local resource, and the Internet connection has been restored.

Artsakh is under siege.
