Country: Iran (Islamic Republic of) Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Please refer to the attached file. This Humanitarian Update is produced by OCHA Regional Office for the Middle East and North Africa (ROMENA) on behalf of and in collaboration with UN agencies and humanitarian organisations. It covers the period from 1 to 31 May 2026. Highlights A temporary ceasefire announced on 7 April for an initial two-week period has subsequently been extended, although conditions remain fragile and subject to change with attacks having been reported in the area in southern Iran around the Strait of Hormuz in late May. Cumulative figures have been reported for the earlier period of hostilities. A total of 3,375 civilian deaths, including 383 children, 496 women, 67 teachers and 296 students, 27 health workers, 5 nurses, and more than 33,000 injuries have been reported. Four rescue workers of the Iranian Red Crescent Society have been reported killed and more than 60 injured. Educational facilities sustained severe damages with 1,726 educational and affiliated facilities affected including 1,507 schools. As for cultural sites, damage has been reported in 149 historical sites across 18 provinces, including 54 museums, 7 historic areas, and 5 World Heritage sites. Tehran sustained the highest number of damages with 70 sites impacted. Over 149,000 civilian infrastructures were hit by 2,138 airstrikes across most provinces, including 51,000 homes damaged only in Tehran. More than 50 points of road and rail routes -including highways, tunnels, and bridges—were targeted. Out of 2,138 attacks between 28 February and 10 April, Tehran sustained the majority of attacks (522) followed by Hormozgan (177), Khuzestan (151), Isfahan (148), Bushehr (111), East Azerbaijan (109), and Fars (107). The remaining provinces experienced fewer than 100 incidents of attacks, while North Khorasan was the only province reportedly not attacked. Key Figures 3.3K+ Civilians killed (figure is for the period 28 February, as reported by WHO Middle East Conflict Situation Report #8, 28 May 2026) 33K+ Civilians injured (figure is for the period since 28 February, as reported by WHO Middle East Conflict Situation Report #8, 28 May 2026) 149K+ Civilian units damaged (figure is for the period since 28 February as reported by the Iranian Red Crescent Society on 13 May 2026) Situation Overview Cumulative figures continue to be reported on the earlier period of hostilities (28 February – 10 April). In May, authorities reported at least 383 children and 496 women among those killed (at least 3,375 people), and over 33,000 injuries. Critical infrastructure has been heavily impacted, including 245 health facilities, more than 1,500 schools, about 400 water-related sites.The Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) reported damage to 149,528 civilian infrastructures including 123,647 residential and 24,450 commercial units, 32 universities, 56 Red Crescent centres, 43 ambulances, 49 rescue vehicles, three operational vehicles, and three Red Crescent and emergency helicopters. The number of 15 critical infrastructures, five fuel depots, 15 airports, and 211 stadiums and sports facilities were targeted. Several power plants serving industrial units were damaged, requiring the compensation of the shortfall using other available capacities. Reports indicate that over 500 communication sites were targeted causing damage estimated at nearly US $335 million in the Information Technology (IT) sector. Further, Iran’s scientific and research infrastructure including knowledge-based companies sustained an estimated $330 millions in damage. A recent study found that airstrikes on 7 March released 29,800 tons of toxic sulfur dioxide over Tehran, comparable to several days of emissions from Hawaii’s volcano. Although a ceasefire is in place, humanitarian conditions continue to deteriorate due to inflation and economic disruption, with food inflation reaching up to 115 per cent, severely limiting household purchasing power and increasing vulnerability. With public order remaining largely stable since ceasefire, increasing numbers of people are likely returning to their places of habitual residence following the large movement in March. However, the humanitarian situation is driven by a combination of repercussions of temporary relocation, infrastructure damage, economic decline, high inflation and reduced household purchasing power across affected and vulnerable groups including refugees, women, children, and persons with disabilities. The most critical needs relate to access to health services, mental support, safe water, food, protection, shelter, cash assistance, and education.

Country: Lebanon Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Please refer to the attached file. HIGHLIGHTS Revised Flash Appeal jointly launched by the United Nations and Government of Lebanon on 5 June, calling for US$ 639.9 million to assist 1.4 million people through August 2026. Hostilities continued with airstrikes and six new displacement orders covering 14 localities across the South and Nabatieh governorates triggering additional displacements. At least 3,526 deaths and 10,733 injuries due to hostilities recorded by the Ministry of Public Health since 2 March. 196 attacks on healthcare recorded by WHO since 2 March, resulting in 131 deaths and 379 injuries among on-duty healthcare workers. Over 12.4 million hot and cold meals distributed by Food Security and Agriculture sector partners since 2 March. 652 vulnerable families have received cash-based assistance of $250 from Shelter Sector partners to cover shelter-related costs since 15 May. Pipeline and service breaks due to funding gaps expected from 1 July in WASH, Health and Food Security and Agriculture sectors. SITUATION OVERVIEW Despite the new ceasefire announcement jointly issued by Lebanon, Israel and the United States on 3 June, the situation remained volatile during the reporting period as Hezbollah rejected the ceasefire’s terms. Hostilities continued unabated, spurring new population movements and mounting humanitarian needs. At least six displacement orders were issued or renewed by the Israeli Army for parts of South and Nabatieh Governorates, including calls for the entire civilian population to move north of the Zahrani River, triggering additional population movements and placing increased pressure on already overstretched shelters and host communities. As 4 June 135,300 people – or around 35,500 families – were registered in 636 increasingly-overcrowded collective shelters, with thousands more families sheltering in open spaces. Collective shelters in Tyre and Saida in South governorate were reportedly full. According to the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH), at least 3,526 people have been killed (including 339 women and 245 children) and 10,733 injured (including 1,337 women and 957 children) due to hostilities since 2 March 2026. UNIFIL, the UN peacekeeping operations in southern Lebanon, reported the death of a peacekeeper and two injuries occurred on 4 June in Marjaayoun, when their position came under shelling. Seven UN peacekeepers have been killed in Lebanon since 2 March. Threats and attacks against healthcare continued to be reported: at least 196 attacks affecting healthcare have been recorded, and 131 on-duty healthcare workers killed and 379 injured, between 2 March and 4 June 2026. An attack on 2 June near Tebnine Governmental Hospital in Nabatieh Governorate – the only operational health facility in Bint Jbeil district and a critical hub for trauma care in southern Lebanon – wounded 11 people, including a doctor and five hospital staff, and caused damage to the facility. This incident constitutes the fourth impacting the hospital since the escalation of hostilities on 2 March, raising grave concerns over the protection of health care professionals and services. On 3 June and in response to an allegation posted by the IDF, Tebnine Hospital’s administration issued a statement defending its continuous provision of healthcare and medical services throughout the conflict, despite the challenges and risks faced by its medical, nursing, administrative and support staff. According to the hospital’s statement, more than 70 nursing, administrative and support staff and 10 doctors have continued to perform their duties and provide care within the hospital, supported by an ICRC team. Protection risks affecting the civilian population remain significant. Displaced families shared their feelings of heightened psychosocial stress during visits, particularly among children exposed to recurrent displacement. Risks related to unexploded ordnance (UXO) and movement in previously affected areas continue to pose threats, limiting safe return and access to agricultural land. Overall, the situation continues to be characterized by persistent fragility, with humanitarian needs outpacing available resources. Pipeline and service breaks due to funding gaps are expected in the WASH, Health, and Food Security and Agriculture sectors from 1 July. Economic conditions continue to deteriorate, further exacerbating vulnerabilities. Communities reported rising prices of rent and essential goods, increasing reliance on humanitarian assistance. On 5 June 2026, the revised Flash Appeal was jointly launched by the Humanitarian Coordinator for Lebanon and the Minister of Social Affairs (the Government’s lead on coordination of and response to the humanitarian crisis resulting from the escalation of hostilities), under the patronage of the Lebanese Prime Minister. The revised appeal seeks an additional US$ 331.5 million to sustain and expand multi-sector assistance for up to 1.4 million people in need through the end of August 2026. The revised appeal reflects the growing scale and severity of humanitarian needs and brings the total funding requirement for the six months’ response from March through August 2026 to US$ 639.9 million. At the time of its publication, the revised Flash Appeal was 29 per cent funded, with $190 million in contributions reported to date. At the launch event, Humanitarian Coordinator Imran Riza called for de-escalation, respect for International Humanitarian Law, unhindered humanitarian access, and scaled-up funding,noting that “the people of Lebanon have developed a remarkable strength to withstand the hardest of times, but even this exceptional resilience has its limits.”

CIFRAS CLAVE 1,8K personas desplazadas el 29 de mayo debido a la inseguridad en Artibonite, Haití 20K casos confirmados de sarampión en LAC en 2026, 4 veces más que en el mismo periodo de 2025 12,6K personas enfrentan restricciones de movilidad debido a enfrentamientos armados en Chocó, Colombia REGIONAL: SARAMPIÓN Los casos de sarampión en las Américas han alcanzado sus niveles más altos desde 2019, con 20.521 casos confirmados y 25 muertes reportadas en 16 países y un territorio entre las semanas epidemiológicas 1 y 20 de 2026, lo que representa un aumento cuatro veces mayor que en el mismo periodo de 2025. México y Guatemala representan la mayoría de los casos, con 10.920 y 6.209 confirmados respectivamente, incluyendo 25 muertes entre ambos países. El 75% de las muertes en Guatemala se produjeron en menores de un año. Los bebés menores de un año enfrentan la tasa de incidencia más alta de la región, con 9,7 casos por cada 100.000 habitantes, y el 45% de los casos confirmados no estaban vacunados. La OPS/OMS insta a las autoridades a fortalecer urgentemente las actividades de vacunación y vigilancia y a cerrar las brechas de inmunidad en toda la región. CENTROAMÉRICA: INSEGURIDAD ALIMENTARIA El deterioro de las condiciones secas a lo largo del Corredor Seco está agravando la inseguridad alimentaria antes de la crucial temporada de siembra de primera. El monitor estacional regional de FEWS NET confirma que la mayor parte de Honduras y la costa caribeña de Guatemala recibieron menos del 30% de las precipitaciones normales entre finales de abril y finales de mayo, con retrasos en la siembra y aparición temprana de plagas ya reportadas. En Honduras, los precios del maíz blanco siguen siendo un 49% superiores al año anterior, mientras que los precios del combustible —un 64% más altos que el año pasado— están aumentando los costos de producción. En El Salvador, se prevé que las precipitaciones por debajo de la media y temperaturas superiores a la media interrumpan el desarrollo de los cultivos de primera, especialmente para los pequeños agricultores de secano. Según FEWS NET, los resultados de Estrés (Fase 2 de la CIF) son generalizados en ambos países, con condiciones de Crisis (Fase 3 de la CIF) proyectadas entre junio y septiembre, especialmente en el Corredor Seco. HAITÍ: VIOLENCIA Y DESPLAZAMIENTO La violencia sigue extendiéndose a zonas previamente no afectadas en Haití, agravando una ya grave crisis de desplazamientos. El 29 de mayo, preocupaciones de seguridad en la cuarta sección de Lalouère, municipio de Saint-Marc, departamento de Artibonite, desplazaron a 1.862 personas, todas ellas refugiadas con familias de acogida dentro del municipio. Este último incidente refleja un patrón más amplio de violencia que va más allá de los focos tradicionales de conflicto, lo que deja a las poblaciones desplazadas con cada vez menos opciones seguras. La crisis se ve agravada por los retornos forzados. Desde principios de 2026, más de 110.000 haitianos han sido devueltos por la fuerza al país, muchos de ellos llegando sin recursos a comunidades ya bajo una fuerte presión. Según la OIM, más de la mitad de las 1.466.862 personas desplazadas internamente en Haití son mujeres y niñas, con necesidades prioritarias que incluyen alimentos, albergue, agua y saneamiento, salud y apoyo psicosocial. COLOMBIA: VIOLENCIA Y DESPLAZAMIENTO Los enfrentamientos armados en curso entre dos grupos armados no estatales (GANE) que disputan el control territorial en la subregión del Baudó, en el departamento de Chocó, continúan provocando una grave crisis humanitaria que afecta al menos a 89 comunidades étnicas indígenas y afrocolombianas. Al 4 de junio, al menos 2.550 personas en Bajo Baudó permanecen confinadas, 178 personas han sido desplazadas y aproximadamente 12.605 personas enfrentan importantes restricciones de movilidad en Alto y Bajo Baudó. Los ataques con drones que transportan explosivos y contaminación por minas terrestres continúan limitando el acceso a tierras agrícolas e interrumpiendo la escolarización de cerca de 4.077 niños, niñas y adolescentes. Los socios humanitarios han proporcionado alimentos, albergue, asistencia legal y apoyo sanitario, aunque las restricciones de acceso siguen limitando el alcance en las comunidades rurales más afectadas.

KEY FIGURES 1.8K people displaced on 29 May due to insecurity in Artibonite, Haiti 20K confirmed measles cases in LAC in 2026, 4x more than the same period in 2025 12.6K people face mobility restrictions due to armed clashes in Chocó, Colombia REGIONAL: MEASLES Measles cases in the Americas have reached their highest levels since 2019, with 20,521 confirmed cases and 25 deaths reported across 16 countries and one territory between epidemiological weeks 1 and 20 of 2026 – a fourfold increase compared to the same period in 2025. Mexico and Guatemala account for the majority of cases, with 10,920 and 6,209 confirmed respectively, including 25 deaths between them, with 75 per cent of Guatemalan fatalities in children under one year of age. Infants under one year face the highest incidence rate across the region at 9.7 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, and 45 per cent of confirmed cases were unvaccinated. PAHO/WHO urges authorities to urgently strengthen vaccination and surveillance activities and close immunity gaps across the region. CENTRAL AMERICA: FOOD INSECURITY Deteriorating dry conditions across the Dry Corridor are compounding food insecurity ahead of the critical primera planting season. FEWS NET’s regional seasonal monitor confirms that most of Honduras and Guatemala’s Caribbean coast received less than 30 per cent of normal rainfall between late April and late May, with planting delays and early pest emergence already reported. In Honduras, white maize prices remain 49 per cent above last year, while fuel prices — 64 per cent higher than last year — are driving up production costs. In El Salvador, below-average rainfall and above-average temperatures are expected to disrupt primera crop development, particularly for rainfed smallholders. According to FEWS NET, Stressed (IPC Phase 2) outcomes are widespread across both countries, with Crisis (IPC Phase 3) conditions projected to emerge between June and September, particularly across the Dry Corridor. HAITI: VIOLENCE & DISPLACEMENT Violence continues to spread to previously unaffected areas across Haiti, compounding an already severe displacement crisis. On 29 May, security concerns in the 4th section of Lalouère, municipality of Saint-Marc, Artibonite department, displaced 1,862 people, all of whom sought refuge with host families within the municipality. This latest incident reflects a broader pattern of violence extending beyond traditional conflict hotspots, increasingly leaving displaced populations with fewer safe options. The crisis is further compounded by forced returns. Since early 2026, more than 110,000 Haitians have been forcibly returned to the country, many arriving without resources into communities already under severe strain. According to IOM, over half of Haiti’s 1,466,862 internally displaced persons are women and girls, with priority needs including food, shelter, water and sanitation, health, and psychosocial support. COLOMBIA: VIOLENCE & DISPLACEMENT Ongoing armed confrontations between two non-state armed groups (NSAGs) disputing territorial control across the Baudó subregion of Chocó department continue to drive a severe humanitarian crisis affecting at least 89 indigenous and Afro-Colombian ethnic communities. As of 4 June, at least 2,550 people in Bajo Baudó remain actively confined, 178 people have been displaced, and approximately 12,605 people face significant mobility restrictions across Alto and Bajo Baudó. Drone attacks carrying explosives and landmine contamination continue to limit access to agricultural land and disrupt schooling for around 4,077 children and adolescents. Humanitarian partners have delivered food, shelter, legal assistance and health support, though access constraints continue to limit reach in the most affected rural communities.
