{"situation_view_id":123,"situation_view_name":"Middle East Situation","situation_view_description":"Escalating hostilities across Asia and the Middle East have led to a marked deterioration in the humanitarian situation. The affected areas already host 24.3 million forcibly displaced people, many of whom face significant protection risks and have substantial humanitarian needs, alongside vulnerable host communities. With limited funding, many countries are struggling to meet existing needs, making it increasingly difficult to absorb additional pressures and support newly displaced populations.\r\nAgainst this backdrop, the escalation of hostilities since 28 February 2026 is placing increasing strain on humanitarian capacities and host communities. Protection needs are rising, alongside heightened risk of internal displacement, new cross-border outflows, and onward movements towards neighbouring countries. There is also a risk of increased returns of Afghans from neighbouring countries under adverse conditions. UNHCR is closely monitoring developments and strengthening preparedness efforts to support protection and the delivery of life-saving humanitarian assistance to affected populations across these regions.","data":[{"date":"2026-04-29","month":3,"year":2026,"population_group_name":"Middle East situation - Cumulative Iranians crossing into neighboring countries","population_groups_concat":"Middle East situation - Cumulative Iranians crossing into neighboring countries","population_group_id":"5759","source":"Government, UNHCR","individuals":"196880","households":"0","population_groups":[{"id":5759,"name":"Middle East situation - Cumulative Iranians crossing into neighboring countries","pop_accommodation_code":null,"pop_accommodation_name":null,"pop_data_type_code":null,"pop_data_type_name":null,"pop_type_code":null,"pop_type_name":null,"pop_frequency_name":"Daily","pop_frequency_code":"D","pop_frequency_cumulative":"cumulative","pop_frequency_cumulative_code":"C","pop_origin_name":"Iran (Islamic Rep. of)","pop_origin_code":"IRN"}]}],"population_group_id":"5759","title_language_ar":"","title_language_en":"Iranians crossing into neighbouring countries (since 28 February)","title_language_es":"","title_language_fr":"","subtitle_language_ar":"","subtitle_language_en":"","subtitle_language_es":"","subtitle_language_fr":"","limit":"","color":"#3c8dbc","frequency":"day","chartType":"areaspline"}
