More than 100,000 people have fled to Armenia from Karabakh after a decades-long crisis flared up again last week – the majority are older people, women and children.
People arriving at the borders are exhausted and traumatised, in need of emergency relief and psychological care. With temperatures dropping at night and limited accommodation available, shelter support is urgently needed to make sure people are not left out on the streets.
Families forced to flee need your support.
UNHCR, is providing immediate assistance to refugees . We’ve already delivered critical supplies like foldable beds, mattresses and blankets as part of the government-led response. And we are urgently sending more supplies.
But we need your help to do more.
