In the early 1990s, as the conflict escalated, it claimed thousands of lives and displaced large numbers of people across Azerbaijan. While many fled, countless others remained in communities heavily affected by the war, living with uncertainty and in urgent need of assistance. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), in close collaboration with the national authorities and the Azerbaijan Red Crescent Society (AzRCS) provided critical humanitarian assistance to those most affected by the conflict. As the ICRC closes its Delegation in Azerbaijan after more than three decades of continuous presence, we look back on how we adapted to changing needs of conflict affected communities, supported their resilience and helped strengthen the capacity of our partners.
