Many Artsakh families had been impacted severely by the recent war, losing their family members and their homes in regions that were occupied by Azerbaijani forces. Families from Hadrut, Shushi, and Martakert regions had to seek temporary places to live in Stepanakert and Armenia. Their sons and husbands joined the armed forces to defend the homeland and sadly many of them didn’t make it back home. Those families needed urgent financial assistance before the Artsakh government can reorganize its resources to provide them with a relief package.
