Stepanakert Doctor Appeals for Healthcare Workers to Join Hospitals

Marat Harutyunyan, a doctor at the Stepanakert Republican Medical Center, has made a plea on his Facebook page, urging all doctors and nurses to come to the pediatric and republican hospitals in Stepanakert.

"I ask all doctors and nurses to come to the pediatric and republican hospitals, I beg you to come," he wrote.

There are a large number of injured individuals with varying degrees of burns due to an explosion of a gasoline cistern along the road from Askeran to Stepanakert, and there may also have been fatalities.
