The Red Cross says it is looking for people in distress that were left behind in the Nagorno-Karabakh region of Azerbaijan.
ICRC spokesman Marco Succi said this via video link from Stepanakert in the region on Tuesday.
He told journalists in Geneva that a bedridden woman had been found in her home, after the relief organisation patrolled the streets with a loud hailer.
The woman was taken by ambulance to Armenia, where virtually all the former residents of the mountain region had fled over recent days.
She had survived on supplies of food and drink left by neighbors who were unable to take her with them.
Those supplies had ran out, the Red Cross said.
Succi said that only a few hundred people remained behind in the remote region and that Azerbaijani police were seen on the streets.
He said that electrical power and water supplies were working, and Azeris were moving into abandoned homes.
He added that almost all the 120,000 Armenian residents had fled.
Earlier in September, Azerbaijan launched a military offensive in the contested region, forcing the capitulation of the self-styled Republic of Artsakh, which was not internationally recognized.
Its Armenian leaders announced that the republic would be dissolved from the start of next year.
