On September 27, 2020, Azerbaijan, supported by Turkey, launched a war against Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh), which forced 90,000 people to flee their homes and affected thousands more.

 When the war broke out, the Aurora Humanitarian Initiative immediately launched the Aurora for Artsakh program. Since then, it has allocated $2,200,000 to support 94 projects launched by 65 local and international partners. To date, it has benefitted over 130,000 people in need.
