Many are families and workers who may return once conditions improve. Urgent needs include cash assistance, food, and shelter, with most staying in temporary arrangements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IOM also recorded over 82,000 arrivals across multiple areas in Syria, highlighting the wide geographic impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inside Lebanon, authorities reported more than one million internally displaced persons as of March 22, including 134,000 in collective shelters. Most, however, are living with host communities or in precarious conditions, placing strain on infrastructure and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regionally, movements remain largely precautionary. Limited arrivals linked to the crisis have been recorded in Iraq, while over 6,700 people crossed from Iran into Pakistan in early March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IOM said it continues to monitor developments and called for de-escalation, urging protection of civilians and respect for international humanitarian law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>By Jwan Shekaki<\/strong><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013 More than 130,000 people have crossed into Syria from Lebanon since early March, while over one million people have been displaced inside Lebanon, the United Nations International Organization for Migration (IOM) said on Tuesday.
