Ani Kirakosyani found out she was pregnant a month after the blockade of Nagorno-Karabakh began. Food, fuel and medical supplies in the disputed territory are running low and officials there say they reported the first death from malnutrition last month.
Ani Kirakosyani found out she was pregnant a month after the blockade of Nagorno-Karabakh began. In her village of Haterk, tucked in a valley between the Caucasus hills, food supplies ran out quickly and the shops started to close, Kirakosyani told CNN. The only food available was what she could pick from her garden, mainly tomatoes and beans.
The fuel shortages also mean electricity is rationed, with power cuts for eight hours each day, and drinking water is no longer treated, leading to a spike in related illnesses, according to Stepanyan. According to the enclave’s administration, 95% of residents are suffering from malnutrition and hidden hunger, a term referring to a lack of essential vitamins and minerals.
