A Christian community starves. Will those responsible trick Biden? — Nagorno-Karabakh schoolchildren warm themselves around a stove in the classroom in Stepanakert, the capital of the separatist region of Nagorno-Karabakh, also known as Artsakh, on Thursday, Dec. 15, 2022. Protesters claiming to be ecological activists have blocked the only road leading from Armenia to Nagorno-Karabakh for more than a month, leading to increasing food shortages. Local authorities have called for a humanitarian airlift for critical supplies, but Azerbaijan has not authorized the region's airport to operate. | (Edgar Harutyunyan/PAN Photo via AP)
