Hundreds of people are continuing to evacuate from Iran into neighbouring Azerbaijan, after Baku announced it has opened its Astara border crossing to allow its citizens and foreign nationals to flee the escalating violence.
Azerbaijan’s government said it had received and hosted nationals from more than 19 countries over the last few days. Authorities at the country’s southernmost city are processing hundreds of people every day in an effort to offer people affected by the war safe passage back to their home countries.
