The European Union announced on Friday allocation of an emergency humanitarian aid to the civilian population affected by the conflict in Nagorno Karabakh. As the statement released by the European Commission said, the funding will deliver health support, medical equipment, food packages, and other urgent help to several thousand people.

“The fighting in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict zone has already claimed civilian lives. International humanitarian law must be respected and the protection of civilian life and infrastructure ensured. The EU stands in solidarity with all the people affected by the violence and is ready to provide further humanitarian support, should human suffering continue. We call for an immediate end to hostilities,” Commissioner for Crisis Management Janez Lenarčič said.

According to the source, the initial funding of €500,000 will help EU humanitarian partners, such as the International Committee of the Red Cross, provide immediate relief to those affected by the fighting.
