Key Highlights Escalating conflict across South-West Asia and the Middle East continues to affect communities and humanitarian operations. The regions already host 24.3 million forcibly displaced people and returnees who face significant protection risks and humanitarian needs, alongside host communities. Families, including people already living as refugees, are fleeing their homes with nowhere safe to go and in urgent need of protection and assistance. UNHCR operations have adjusted modalities to safeguard staff while maintaining critical activities, including border monitoring and protection services. Emergency stockpiles are in place for rapid deployment. UNHCR is coordinating with national authorities, UN agencies, and humanitarian partners to strengthen preparedness as the situation evolves.
