UNHCR | Help families forced to flee in the Middle East
In Iran, preliminary government assessments indicate that more than 3 million people are temporarily displaced internally as conflict escalates.
In Lebanon, over 1 million people have registered on the government’s displacement platform and remain internally displaced—35% of them children—and the numbers continue to rise every day.
Among those fleeing are families who have already escaped violence once and are now running for their lives again, carrying only what they can and with little to no social or economic support in places of displacement.
UNHCR teams are on the ground across the region, providing legal and social protection services, emergency relief items, and safe shelter for families who have lost everything. We are present at borders and inside affected areas, supporting those most in need and preparing to assist many more as the situation evolves.
Your donation can provide life-saving support to families who urgently need protection.
By making a monthly donation to Switzerland for UNHCR, you will help us to plan ahead and provide refugees with ongoing relief and protection and help them regain hope for a better future.

If you are resident in Switzerland, your donation is tax deductible. Direct federal tax: 20% of net income, provided that the amount of the donation is at least 100 francs. Municipal taxes: depending on the canton, up to 20% of net income for individuals and 20% for companies. For further information, please contact the tax authorities in your canton.
However, in the very rare case that this emergency response becomes fully funded, your support will be used to provide vital assistance to people forced to flee around the world.
We will happily explore with you the ways in which you can maximize your impact on the fate of people forced to flee in the way that fits you best. Please email us at [email protected] or call +41 22 552 78 08.
