Armenia: MSF sends team to aid people fleeing Nagorno-Karabakh
On September 19, Azerbaijan launched an attack on several locations in Nagorno-Karabakh, a disputed territory that is internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan but mainly populated and governed by ethnic Armenians.

Our work in Azerbaijan
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) runs a mental health care support project for people in the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh.
How we’re helping in Azerbaijan
In the Nagorno-Karabakh region—internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan but mainly populated and governed by ethnic Armenians—we support mental health services by conducting training and monitoring patient care in public health facilities. The aim is to strengthen the technical capacity of local psychologists, health workers, and social workers in these locations, and improve access to mental health services.
How you can help
Not everyone can treat patients in the field. But everyone can do something.
Some humanitarian crises make the headlines—others don’t. Unrestricted support from our donors allows us to mobilize quickly and efficiently to provide lifesaving medical care to the people who need it most, whether those needs are in the spotlight or not. And your donation is 100 percent tax-deductible.
