No mass influx into Iran yet although new arrivals have increased.
Contingency plan not yet activated. If activated, the Iran Government estimates an influx of 500,000 over six months, with an assumption that their stay will be temporary. Meanwhile, UNHCR’s initial planning figure is of 150,000 new arrivals over three months upon activation of the contingency plan, scalable depending on developments.
UNHCR is focusing on preparedness, for example by pre-positioning Core Relief Items (CRIs) and carrying out joint site assessments.
