Geneva, Switzerland (HRNW) — The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) reported today that the humanitarian situation in the Middle East is “breaking global aid efforts.” Over 30,000 Syrian refugees previously sheltered in Lebanon have been forced to flee back into Syria in just the past week to escape bombardment. Meanwhile, European leaders are preparing for a potential mass exodus from Iran, a nation of 90 million people. The UNHCR warned that without a diplomatic breakthrough, the region faces a displacement crisis that could dwarf the 2015 refugee wave, calling for an immediate surge in international funding.
