On February 28, 2026, coordinated U.S. and Israeli military strikes on Iran ignited a rapidly escalating regional crisis in the Middle East. Since then, missile and drone attacks, airstrikes, and airspace disruptions have upended daily life for millions. People are being killed in their homes. Families are being forced to flee with no warning. Hospitals, schools, and basic services are struggling to function. This crisis is expanding, and it's piling onto existing crises in the region.
Recent military and retaliatory strikes are putting millions of civilian lives at risk across the region. Driven entirely by political motivation, this escalation is devastating communities, especially those who were already living with the impacts of prolonged conflict before this latest development. Women, men, and children are being injured, displaced from their homes, and killed as violence spreads.

Food, clean water, and hygiene supplies 2. Shelter and essential items 3. Protection support for vulnerable women and girls 4. Emergency cash assistance
ActionAid and our local partners stand in solidarity with communities across the region. We are already responding where access allows, including supporting displaced populations in collective shelters, distributing essential relief items and cash assistance, and maintaining protection services for women and girls. Our teams and partners in Jordan, Lebanon, and Palestine are actively monitoring the situation and continuing humanitarian interventions in accessible areas as possible.
