After one month of relentless Israeli and American bombing across Iran, the civilian population is exhausted and traumatised.

Millions have already fled in search of safety.
Others stay in fear that displacement will be even more dangerous as nowhere seems to be safe.

Across the Middle East, 2,700 people have been killed by US, Israeli and Iranian attacks, more than half of whom are in Iran.

Civilians are paying the highest price for this war. It must end.
