Panah, four, lives in Aghdam village in Azerbaijan, near the border with Armenia. Because of a lack of drinkable water supply to the town, Panah often has to travel long distances on his donkey – sometimes up to an hour – to collect water for the family. As a result of the conflict, many resources that were once shared, such as water supply networks and irrigation systems, are now more difficult to access. In some cases, they have been cut off altogether.
