Despite persistent efforts, the International Committee of
\nthe Red Cross (ICRC) is not currently able to bring humanitarian assistance to
\nthe civilian population through the Lachin corridor or through any other
\nroutes, including Aghdam. The organization is calling on the relevant decision
\nmakers to allow the ICRC to resume its essential humanitarian operations in the
\narea.

“Our humanitarian aid convoys are a lifeline for the
\npopulation in this area. With these convoys blocked, our concern is that the
\nhumanitarian situation will further deteriorate. We are most worried about
\nthose who cannot help themselves. The sick and people with chronic diseases are
\nparticularly at risk, as are the elderly, infirm and children. For us to
\noperate here, we need the sides to reach a humanitarian consensus. This is
\nlife-saving work, and it must be allowed to continue,” ICRC’s regional director
\nfor Eurasia, Ariane Bauer said.
<\/p><\/p>\n\n
It is also mentioned in the statement that tens of thousands
\nof people rely on humanitarian aid reaching them through these routes. The
\ncivilian population is now facing a lack of life-saving medication and
\nessentials like hygiene products and baby formula.
