Nagorno-Karabakh: Starting over after losing everything
Format
By Radostina Karageorgieva, IFRC
The IFRC is providing support to the Armenian Red Cross Society and Azerbaijan Red Crescent Society, in coordination with International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement partners, to assist those affected by the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
In many regions in Azerbaijan, houses, shops, and public buildings show the devastating impact of a 30-year-old war. After the escalation of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict on 27 September, cities, towns and other populated areas in the country were shelled, leaving behind destruction and loss. What was once a quiet residential area is now scattered pieces of debris that families are rummaging through to recover some of their old possessions.
Report: Impact study of COVID-19 on older people and caregivers Azerbaijan (November 2020)

Executive Summary
In Azerbaijan, older people make up a steadily growing proportion of society, for whom the COVID-19 pandemic poses a serious health risk.
Potential economic, health and social impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic presents an additional threat to the wellbeing of older people, and revials a need for effective policies on ageing and care, and wellorganized integrated care provision models.
This study looks at the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on older people and trained RC volunteers providing social services in the context of general care provision in Azerbaijan, and suggests recommendations to the Azerbaijan Red Crescent Society (AzRCS) and other stakeholders for improving the COVID-19 response and care for older people and caregivers.

INTRODUCTION
COVID-19 poses an increased risk of morbidity, mortality and indirect social consequences that profoundly affect older people and people with underlying health conditions. While the global response to the new virus is evolving, it is emerging that COVID-19 is much more than a health crisis. It is a human, economic and social crisis, threatening societies at their core. Evidence indicates that the impacts of the virus are being borne disproportionately by poor and older people.
Governments of all three countries, although with different degrees of success, are working hard on COVID-19 prevention and control. Coordination and partnership with non-governmental organizations (NGO) and the international community has proved to be important in ensuring that support reaches the most vulnerable, including older people.

On the outskirts of a small town, a kindergarten that usually resonates with the joyful sound of children is eerily silent. Just three children play quietly in the dusty yard out front. Washing hangs above a rainbow-coloured fence, the fading artwork of small children decorates on the walls inside.
