UNICEF replied to the inquiry by “Lurer” (News) on the current ongoing blockade of Lachin corridor and the consequences of it on Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians, especially, 30,000 children.
“UNICEF echoes the appeal of the United Nations Secretary General. In line with the principles enshrined in international humanitarian law and child rights, UNICEF calls on all parties to ensure humanitarian access for the distribution of critical supplies to children and their families. We urge all parties involved and those who have influence over them to place children’s safety and survival above all other considerations”, Octavian Bivol, UNICEF Europe and Central Asia Regional Director said in a response.
