The U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran has escalated, with approximately 2,500 U.S. Marines deployed to the Middle East and ongoing airstrikes on Iran and Lebanon. The UN has launched a $308 million emergency appeal for Lebanon, reporting severe restrictions on humanitarian aid to Gaza and calling for consistent aid flow.

Israeli airstrikes and evacuation orders have forced nearly 700,000 people to flee their homes in Lebanon in just over a week, with more than 100,000 leaving in 24 hours, according to the UN. The rapid displacement is described as 'lives have been upended on a massive scale.'

The escalating Middle East conflict has displaced at least 767,700 people in Iran and Lebanon, according to UNHCR estimates. The situation is described as a 'grave humanitarian emergency,' with 14.1 million people already refugees in the region facing increased vulnerability.
