Over 30’000 children & their families in Nagorno Karabakh have now endured 8 months of blockade and devastation. Stranded in their homeland, they are at a brink of famine & humanitarian catastrophe with no access to life-saving medicine, food or other essential supplies. Armenian professional footballer from Inter Milan Henrikh Mkhitaryan writes in his microblog on Twitter. 

In particular, he noted:

“The heart-breaking reality of people starving to death is catastrophe that demands immediate action. Children need an end to this war to begin to heal & recover. Principled & unimpeded humanitarian access should be ensured across the Lachin corridor.”
