Nagorny Karabakh: the lasting consequences of an unresolved conflict
Twelve years after the cease-fire between Armenia and Azerbaijan, ICRC protection and assistance activities continue. The fate of thousands of missing persons remains unknown. Mines and unexploded ordnance continue to kill and maim. Many displaced persons have still not been able to go home.

Azerbaijan, Ganja. Physical rehabilitation centre supported by the ICRC. – Mine victims need specialist treatment, starting with emergency surgery (in most cases, this means amputating one or more limbs), followed by the services of a physical rehabilitation centre. They then need to obtain an artificial limb (or limbs), which will require regular replacement. The ICRC is supporting several health facilities in Azerbaijan, especially in the field of physical rehabilitation.
