18/02/2021 (Agence Europe) – The European Commission announced on Thursday 18 February that it will provide EUR 3 million in humanitarian aid for civilians affected by the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh, the disputed territory between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Despite the end of hostilities in September 2020, “the humanitarian crisis remains deep and is exacerbated by a harsh winter and the coronavirus pandemic”, said the European Commissioner for Crisis Management, Janez Lenarčič, in a statement. The new package, which brings to EUR 6.9 million the EU humanitarian aid made available since last autumn, will be used to provide shelter, food and health care, including psychological care, to civilian victims living in Nagorno-Karabakh or who have been displaced by the conflict.
