Aznavour Foundation sent about 105 tons of humanitarian aid to  Armenia 

ArmInfo.Today, the Aznavour Foundation received  about 105 tons of humanitarian aid for the population affected by the  second war in Artsakh. With the support of the Crisis and Support  Center of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the French Republic,  this new batch of aid was sent to Armenia by sea freights, then  transported to Yerevan by land. 

As the Foundation told ArmInfo, the customs clearance of humanitarian  cargo was carried out by the Aznavour Foundation in accordance with  the applicable legislation.  This batch of humanitarian aid includes  medical supplies, in particular functional medical beds, as well as  clothing and hygiene items. In total, over 175 tons of humanitarian  aid was collected at 19 reception points in France and Switzerland  through the Aznavour Foundation and its partner organizations. This  unprecedented mobilization was possible thanks to the hard work of  more than 50 organizations and 100 donors, solidarity and  perseverance. The first batch of collected aid - 70 tons - was sent  to Armenia from November to January by special flights. The Aznavour  Foundation coordinates the initial storage and further distribution  of humanitarian aid in Armenia. Part of the aid sent in November,  December and January was directly transferred to the final recipients  in Armenia, the rest was distributed by the Aznavour Foundation to  the affected population.  To date (March 18, 2021), the Foundation  has provided 15,663 refugees with basic necessities (clothing,  hygiene items, blankets) through more than 20 local organizations and  individuals working with Artsakh families. 

Since the early days of the war, the Aznavour Foundation mobilized  all its resources and capacities to provide targeted assistance to  thousands of families affected by war by securing them with first aid  items: food packages, clothes, hygiene items. Large scale support was  also provided to the healthcare system. Notably, 35 hospitals  received much needed medical equipment and supplies: 200+  rehabilitation supplies (wheelchairs, walkers, crutches), 200+  medical beds, 135.000 protection masks (K95); as well as 1000 first  aid kits for civil security.
