Housing
Close to one hundred and fifty villages and towns
in NKR were damaged during the war imposed by Azerbaijan. More than
11,000 private homes and 226 multi-story residential buildings were
completely or partially destroyed. This constituted 60% of all housing
in the Republic. Seventeen clinics, more than 70 first-aid stations,
close to 200 educational institutions, 121 theaters, museums, cultural
centers and village culture clubs, and over 500 other social or economic
facilities were also destroyed.
Since the 1994 cease-fire, many damaged buildings
and facilities have been restored and new ones built. This has been
accomplished, in large part, due to humanitarian assistance.
At this time, about 3,000 refugee families from Azerbaijan
and 6,300 local families, who lost their homes during the war, require
permanent housing and living essentials. At this time 4,541 private
homes and 68 multi-story apartment buildings require reconstruction.
Suggested Programs and Estimated Cost:
Construction and restoration of housing - $48
million
