On September 27, our compatriots in Artsakh awoke to a new reality. An aggression unlike one experienced in recent history. And what endured for the next two months will be remembered as one of the true tests of the Armenian spirit and resilience.
Over 90,000 civilians have fled to Armenia for safety as a result of the Azeri attacks on Artsakh. Shaken and anxious, they are physically, emotionally and economically exhausted yearning for the life they left behind. While we are working to develop a long-term strategically sustainable plan to assist the nation and its people, AGBU has moved swiftly and urgently to provide emergency assistance for tens of thousands of individuals in need.
AGBU remains committed to the people of Artsakh and Armenia. We are here and ready as ever.

- Warm clothing to 20,000+ displaced individuals
- Over 42 tons of medical equipment including PPE, anesthesia machines, wheelchairs, ventilators and defibrillators

AGBU – Leaders in Collaboration
AGBU has served as a trusted resource for Armenians for 115 years with a commitment to service
bridging Armenia and the diaspora as well as integrating collaboration with non-Armenian NGOs
and institutions. Working with entities like the
UN World Food Program, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of France or UCLA Medical School,
we are ensuring that external resources are directed to government ministries, institutions and
individuals to address critical needs in Armenia and Artsakh. As always, we continue to work
with the Armenian communities and organizations around the world to coordinate efforts on the
ground and execute aid distribution effectively.
