IFRCS Volunteer Killed in Shelling of Barda
Baku/29.10.20/Turan: During yesterday's shelling of the city of Barda, a volunteer of the International Federation of Red Cross and Crescent Societies (IFRCS), a father of two children, was killed. Presidential aide Hikmet Hajiyev wrote about this on Twitter. His name was not disclosed.
Martin Schüepp, International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Eurasia Regional Director, in Geneva, expressed his condolences to the family of the deceased.
“Alongside thousands of civilians, the ICRC witnessed intense shelling in urban areas on both sides of the front line today, leading to death, destruction, injuries and desolation. This is unacceptable. Tragically, a volunteer from the Azerbaijan Red Crescent Society, a father of two, was killed in the shelling. Two other volunteers were injured. The ICRC offers its most heartfelt condolences to the family of the volunteer and to the Azerbaijan Red Crescent Society.
Since the onset of the escalation at the end of September, the ICRC has urged the sides to take all feasible measures to protect and spare civilians and civilian infrastructure like hospitals, schools, markets and cultural property. These are not voluntary gestures. These are obligations under international humanitarian law.
These latest exchanges signal that the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict risks spiraling out of control. It is civilians across the region who are suffering the consequences. Civilian lives are being lost at an alarming rate and people are also suffering life-changing injuries. Significant damage has also been inflicted on civilian infrastructure, including medical facilities.
The ICRC is in contact with the sides in bilateral, confidential dialogue to remind them of their obligations under international humanitarian law. The appalling scenes that we are seeing cannot continue,” the statement says. —06D-
