The UN refugee agency and partners are seeking $97 million to provide “urgent humanitarian aid” for ethnic Armenians who have fled Nagorno-Karabakh after the breakaway region was retaken by Azerbaijan last month in a lightning military operation. The UN's office of the High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said the Armenia Emergency Refugee Response Plan (RRP), launched on October 7, brings together 60 partners, including 43 national nongovernmental organizations, and looks to cover aid efforts for the next six months through March 2024.
