The Israeli government has displaced six million people from their homes across Iran, Gaza and Lebanon, according to United Nations estimates.
Three million Iranians fled their houses after US and Israeli strikes began at the end of February.
Humanitarian agencies report that families packed what they could and headed north or to rural areas as bombs fell on Tehran and other cities.
Many now shelter in makeshift camps with limited food and medicine.
Meanwhile, two million residents of Gaza have been uprooted by Israel’s continuing campaign against Hamas terrorists.
The fighting, which erupted after the terrorists’ deadly attacks in October 2023, has left entire neighbourhoods in ruins and forced repeated evacuations under constant threat of air strikes.
In addition, one million Lebanese civilians have abandoned their homes during escalated clashes between Israeli forces and Hezbollah terrorists.
Israeli ground operations and heavy bombardment in southern Lebanon and Beirut’s suburbs triggered mass flight, with families crowding into schools and public buildings farther north.
Taken together, the figure equals the entire population of Maryland in the United States.
Journalist Mehdi Hasan drew attention to the scale on social media, writing that one government alone had caused this humanitarian crisis.
UN officials warn that the numbers could still rise as fighting continues on all three fronts.
Aid groups say shelters are overflowing and basic services are collapsing.
Yet the displacements show no sign of slowing while the conflicts with Hamas terrorists, Hezbollah terrorists and Iranian-backed groups persist.
