An estimated 100,000 individuals left Tehran during the first two days of the US and Israeli bombings on Iran on February 28 and March 1, according to the UN on Wednesday.
“In Iran, an estimated 100,000 people left Tehran in the first two days following the attacks,” UNHCR, the UN refugee agency, said in a situation report.
“Latest reports indicate no increase in cross-border movements linked to recent events. The situation at the Islam Qala border crossing with Afghanistan remains stable with no significant changes observed,” it said.
Iran has retaliated with missile and drone strikes from Israel across the Gulf as a result of the conflict, which was sparked by a huge US-Israeli operation that murdered supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
