The evacuation of patients from Azerbaijan’s breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia resumed Friday, after Baku shut the road linking the enclave to its neighbour, the Red Cross said.
“Evacuation of patients by the Red Cross from Karabakh to hospitals in Armenia resumed today (Friday),” the Red Cross’s Armenian branch spokeswoman Zara Amatuni told AFP, adding that “11 patients in serious condition were transported through the Lachin Corridor” which Baku shut Tuesday, sparking concerns over a humanitarian crisis in the region.
