The United Nations warned that the Iranian-Israeli war could trigger a fresh exile crisis in the mediate East, saying that if the situation escalates and people flee, there is no fast way back to their countries.
UNHCR, UN exile agency, claims that wet attacks for veto already triggering movements of the population in both countriesWhich can easy turn into an even worse crisis.
Iran has already seen as many of its citizens cross the border with another countries, at the minute most of Tehran streets remained mostly empty in fear of Israeli combat aircraft that control the sky over western Iran.
Iran's ballistic and hypersonic rocket attacks on Israel have caused people to start searching for a way out of the country, whether through air, sea or land borders.
"This region has already survived more than its participation in wars, losses and resettlement. We cannot let another exile crisis to take root" - He said Filippo Grandi, UN advanced Commissioner for Refugees, in a message issued on Saturday.
"It's time for deescalation. erstwhile people are forced to flee, there is no fast way back – and besides frequently the consequences last for generations," Grandi added.
More information can be found in the recently published UN statement:
As highlighted in our Global Trends study 2024 Last week, Iran is the largest host country in the world, with about 3.5 million refugees, mainly from Afghanistan. If the conflict persists, existing exile populations will besides face fresh uncertainties and even greater difficulties.
UNHCR is present in Iran, Israel and many neighbouring countries and organises humanitarian aid at various locations, preparing to respond as needed.
The fact that specified a large population of Afghan refugees in Iran is simply a reason for Deeply afraid that the 2015 European crisis may recur.
At that time, the Syrian replacement war was at the tallness of death and destruction, and the Libyan government had been overthrown respective years earlier. Despite this, American and European officials do not tend to over-authorise how their policy of changing the government in the mediate East mostly created successive waves of refugees coming to Europe.
Photos showing the movement of the bumper to the bumper from Tehran widely spread this week:
The Economist writes that to any degree it It's already happening.:
Thousands of terrified people flee Tehran and another attacked cities, turning them into ghost cities. Since the airports are closed, the only exits are by land. Social media posts show huge traffic. Neighboring countries are wondering how they could respond if the flow of people spread beyond Iran. Many remember the crisis caused by the Syrian civilian war, which left 6 million refugees. So far, the exodus from Iran has been small, but that can change.
Large population flows are presently focusing on searches at the northern border of Iran:
Many of those fleeing Tehran head north to little urbanized areas close the Caspian Sea, about 100 km away. Even this journey is tedious. The roads are clogged and the gasoline is missing, which reflects the purchasing panic and, perhaps, Israeli attacks on oil installations. Cell signals are no longer reliable. 1 individual outside the country says his household needed more than 12 hours alternatively of a average 4 to get to the mountainous Gilian area off the coast of the country. He says as they drove, they saw "artillery in the sky and background fires". Their plan is to stay in the country. "They don't want to leave Iran, this is home to them".
If the Israeli-Iran conflict escalated, the war could spread to Iraq, where allied militias with Tehran dominate. They inform that if the US engages, American forces in regional bases could become targets for a retaliation attack.
