GENEVA, March 12 (Reuters) - The U.N. refugee agency said on Thursday that up to 3.2 million people have been displaced inside Iran since the conflict began on February 28.
"This figure is likely to continue rising as hostilities persist, marking a worrying escalation in humanitarian needs," UNHCR said in a statement, citing preliminary assessments based on the number of uprooted households.
