The UK is providing £1 million to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to provide life-saving medication, healthcare and other essential support. We are liaising with the UN, ICRC and others to further assess humanitarian need in the region. We welcome Azerbaijan's decision to grant UN access into Nagorno-Karabakh and encourage them to continue to support international efforts to address humanitarian need. We also welcome Armenian government and international support to the 100,000 or more people displaced from Nagorno-Karabakh into Armenia.
