Armenia-Azerbaijan: Nagorno-Karabakh blockade
Since 12 December 2022, Azerbaijani ‘eco-activists’ have blocked the Lachin corridor. They state that the main reason for the blockade is to stop the mining of gold and copper in the area.

Key considerations:
  • Essential medicine and food are scarce because of the blockade, affecting over 120,000 Armenian people living in the area.
     
  • 1,500 people are stranded because they cannot use the Lachin corridor to reach their homes.
     
  • In September 2022, hostilities between the two countries affected 160,000 people and damaged over 90 buildings.
     
  • The current tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan could result in renewed hostilities and subsequent humanitarian implications similar to those in September 2020 and 2022.
