Growing Humanitarian Crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh as Russian Peacekeepers Depart

Thousands of civilians in Nagorno-Karabakh are without food or shelter following the surrender of Armenian separatists, with only one aid delivery of 70 tonnes of food allowed through. Azerbaijan's military has paraded heavy weapons captured in the region, including tanks and guns. Ethnic Armenian leaders have urged the UN to send a mission to monitor the rights of ethnic Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh, while Azerbaijan denies any threat to their existence and aims to reintegrate the region's ethnic Armenian residents. Displaced people are sleeping in tents or the open air near the airport in Stepanakert, and it remains unclear what will happen to the 120,000 ethnic Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh.
