United Nations concludes field mission to conflict-affected districts of Azerbaijan
14 April 2021
The UN Country Team in Azerbaijan has concluded a three-day field mission to the conflict-affected districts of Barda, Aghdam, and Tartar.
The mission aimed to monitor ongoing UN programmes and to discuss with local partners the remaining humanitarian needs and challenges in the areas of coordination and implementation of humanitarian activities.
Mission members met with heads of local executive authorities and members of communities affected by recent hostilities.
Following the cessation of hostilities, the United Nations in Azerbaijan launched an immediate response to address the urgent humanitarian needs of the affected population temporarily displaced by the conflict. Several UN assessment missions took place in close collaboration with the Government of Azerbaijan to determine and prioritize urgent needs in the areas of food, shelter, hygiene, mine risk awareness, access to healthcare, psychosocial support and education.
Complementing UN agencies' own resources, the UN OCHA released USD 2 million from the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) to support the UN humanitarian response.
