120,000 people are struggling of malnourishment and waiting every day for Lachin Corridor to be unblocked: Marukyan

Edmon Marukyan, Armenia's Ambassador-at-Large, referred to the Azerbaijani ban on delivering humanitarian aid to the population of Nagorno-Karabakh in Kornidzor.

"This humanitarian convoy is still here waiting to reach people of Nagorno-Karabagh to meet their very basic needs and to stop hunger. But the Lachin Corridor, which is the road of life, is still blocked by Azerbaijan for months.

120,000 people, 2,000 of which are pregnant women, 30,000 are children, 20,000 elderly and 9,000 persons with disabilities are struggling of malnourishment and waiting every day for the Lachin Corridor to be unblocked. 

The International Community, the UN Security Council members in particular, can stop the weaponization of hunger, which is used by Azerbaijan as a leverage for ethnic cleansing and genocide," Marukyan tweeted.
