Karabakh: 390 people deprived of surgeries due to Azerbaijan’s blockadeJanuary 14, 2023 - 12:46 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Around 390 people in Nagorno Karabakh (Artsakh) can’t undergo surgery as operations have been suspended due to Azerbaijan’s blocking of a key corridor connecting Karabakh to Armenia, the NKR InfoCenter said in a statement Friday, January 13. 11 children are currently in neonatal and intensive care units of the children's hospital, while 8 adult patients are in the intensive care unit, 3 of them in critical condition. 123 children have been born under the siege, the InfoCenter said. So far, 19 patients have been transferred from Artsakh to Armenia with the mediation of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to receive quality treatment. Since December 12, the sole road connecting Nagorno Karabakh to Armenia - the Lachin Corridor - has been blocked by self-described Azerbaijani environmentalists. Karabakh residents have reported food and fuel shortages, while hospital patients don't have access to essential medicines, with only a handful allowed transfer to facilities in Armenia proper.
