A UNHCR preliminary assessment estimated that 600,000 to one million Iranian households, or up to 3.2 million people, had temporarily relocated inside Iran by 12 March. The estimate was assembled during a fast-moving crisis when movements were difficult to monitor. Displacement included people seeking safety within their own country, not only cross-border refugees.
