"This latest aid package brings our 2023 contribution to €27.5 million. Emergency medical supplies were also turned over to the Armenian authorities, and French hospitals are caring for several burn patients. This support is accompanied by fundraising efforts by civil society organizations and local governments to help the Armenian peoplem," reads the statement.
