The European Commission has announced today EUR 3 million in humanitarian aid to assist those affected by the recent large scale hostilities in and around Nagorno-Karabakh, including a significant number of displaced people.

Since the beginning of the hostilities in September 2020, the EU has mobilized a total of EUR 6.9 million in humanitarian assistance.

“The newly announced emergency support will help EU humanitarian partners to deliver food, shelter, winter items and other basic needs, as well as essential health services and psychosocial support to the affected population,” the commission said in a press statement.
