Armenia: The SDC and the World Food Programme support refugees

Bern — The conflict in the Nagorno-Karabakh region is forcing many people to flee their homes. Switzerland is supporting the people in need.

Switzerland's contribution will help WFP address the immediate needs of the refugees in Syunik and Gegharkunik provinces, enabling us to provide both essential food and much-needed psychosocial support. We are thankful to the people and Government of Switzerland for their commitment to support those in need.

Above all, we are very satisfied that this support – although it is part of a longer-term vision of rebuilding life prospects – can be provided without much delay.
