Overview
Escalating hostilities across Asia and the Middle East have led to a deterioration in the humanitarian situation. The affected areas already host 24.6 million forcibly displaced people, many of whom, alongside host communities, face significant protection risks and humanitarian needs.
With limited funding, many countries are struggling to meet existing needs, making it increasingly difficult to absorb additional pressures and support newly displaced populations.
Protection needs are rising, alongside heightened risk of internal displacement, new cross-border outflows, and onward movements to neighbouring countries.
An inter-agency emergency response has been launched to address urgent needs across the region. In Iran, the Flash Refugee Response Plan targets 1.65 million Afghan and Iraqi refugees and others in need of international protection, alongside 1 million host community members and 150,000 Afghans of other status. In Lebanon, a USD 308.3 million Flash Appeal aims to support 1 million people with lifesaving assistance and protection.
