Today, the United States, through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), announced more than $4.1 million in additional humanitarian assistance for people affected by the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh. This additional funding brings total U.S. humanitarian assistance for the Nagorno-Karabakh response to nearly $28 million since 2020.
Azerbaijan’s military operation in Nagorno-Karabakh between September 19 and 20 displaced more than 100,000 people into neighboring Armenia and generated significant humanitarian needs.
