International organizations, first of all the International Committee of the Red Cross, Russian peacekeepers stationed in Artsakh should urgently open an air corridor in order to quickly bring the injured and wounded people to the RA medical institutions as a result of the recent combat operations and the catastrophic explosion that took place today in Artsakh. Stepanakert-Goris land road is terribly congested, it is almost at a standstill and there is no way to get the wounded and injured through it. And the healthcare system of Artsakh at the moment simply cannot handle and serve this whole situation. An air corridor is a dire necessity and must be launched at all costs.
