PanARMENIAN.Net - Opening, a civil initiative in Yerevan, has been collecting food, medicine and essential goods in front of the UN’s Armenia office since July 19 in order to send them to Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh).

The members of the initiative have asked the United Nations to transport the cargo to Artsakh.

According to them, the UN has a food program and a charter that obliges it to deliver humanitarian aid to Artsakh as soon as possible to save 120,000 people from starvation.

In the past several days, a lot of food has been collected by ordinary citizens.

Since December 12, the sole road connecting Nagorno Karabakh to Armenia - the Lachin Corridor - has been blocked by Azerbaijan. Karabakh residents have reported severe food and fuel shortages, while hospital patients don't have access to essential medicines.
