The head of the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) announced on Friday that over 100,000 refugees have now crossed into Armenia from Nagorno-Karabakh.
“Many are hungry, exhausted and need immediate assistance,” Filippo Grandi said on social media.
“UNHCR and other humanitarian partners are stepping up their support to the Armenian authorities, but international help is very urgently required,” Grandi added.
