To implement this assistance, the Armenia Artsakh Fund has sourced $14.9 million worth of medications and other items from AmeriCares ($7.1 million), Direct Relief ($4.3 million), and MAP International ($3.4 million).

In the past 31 years, the Armenia Artsakh Fund and its predecessor, the United Armenian Fund, have provided $913 million worth of humanitarian assistance to Armenia and Artsakh through 158 flights and 2,486 maritime containers.

From June to November this year, the support sent to the homeland included urgently needed medications and supplies for those infected with COVID-19 and war casualties, as well as for patients suffering from mental disorders, cancer, and cardiovascular and gastrointestinal issues.
