During the blockade, Artsakh's economy was damaged by around 515 million dollars

The Information Headquarters of Artsakh published the statistical updates of the day.

Thus, due to the suspension of planned surgeries in all medical institutions of Artsakh, about 1,925 citizens were deprived of the opportunity to solve their health problems through surgery, increasing by about 15 cases in the last 3 days.

Until today, 784 patients were transported from Artsakh to Armenia with the mediation and accompaniment of the International Committee of the Red Cross, and another 70 were transported to receive appropriate treatment with the accompaniment of Russian peacekeepers. Due to additional Azerbaijani obstacles to ICRC activities, the transfers were suspended for almost a month in May, suspended again on June 15, after which they continue with some interruptions and additional obstacles until today, while the transfers of persons by Russian peacekeepers were suspended on June 15 and resumed only on August 21, but only in one direction, from Artsakh to Armenia, which was suspended on August 28, after the abduction of three students from Artsakh by Azerbaijani armed forces.

As a result of the blockade, more than 6,000 people could not return to their homes, including about 800 children, some of whom have already returned home with the support of the Red Cross and Russian peacekeepers.

No citizen traveled freely along the Stepanakert-Goris highway (Lachin (Kashatagh) corridor) and the cases of two-way movement of people decreased by about 221 times, and only with the support of the Red Cross and RF peacekeepers (instead of 663,950 people in 271 days, 3,002 people entered and exit. In addition, in the last 3 days, 21 cases of exit and entry of citizens using the vehicles of the ICRC were registered.

Not a single car of Artsakh citizens passed through the blocked road, and the total movement of cars was almost 84 times less than it should have been without the blockade (instead of 249,320 in 271 days, 2,981 cars entered and exited, and that is only at the Red Cross and by Russian peacekeepers). It means that in the last 3 days, 6 entries and exits of vehicles, vehicles of the ICRC, were recorded.

About 19 times less vital goods were imported by the Red Cross and Russian peacekeepers alone than would have been without the blockade (5,715 tons instead of about 108,400 tons in 271 days, of which 0 tons in the last 3 days.

During the blockade, Azerbaijan has completely or partially interrupted the gas supply from Armenia to Artsakh for a total of 204 days, and the electricity supply has been completely interrupted for 242 days. This has resulted in daily fan and additional emergency shutdowns and many facilities closing or curtailing operations.

Since the blockade, 1,710 business entities (40% of the total) have suspended their activities due to the impossibility of working under the blockade, and the rest have either actually suspended or are operating with a very limited volume.

Due to the blockade and disruption of vital infrastructure, an estimated 17,000 people, more than 90% of private sector workers, have lost their actual jobs and source of income since the start of the blockade.

The construction works of 32.6 kilometers of roads, tens of kilometers of water lines, irrigation systems for thousands of hectares of land, 3,717 apartments, and more than 40 social and industrial infrastructures have been stopped.

During the blockade, the economy of the Republic of Artsakh suffered a loss of about 515 million US dollars, leading to the failure to provide about 57 percent of the predicted annual GDP index (903 million dollars).
