OCHA maintains an active relationship with Iran, working closely with the Iranian government and humanitarian partners to identify and address the country's humanitarian needs. We support and coordinate humanitarian response efforts, including providing assistance to vulnerable populations, such as refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs), and those affected by natural disasters. Our engagement in Iran includes coordination of relief efforts, advocating for the principles of humanitarian action, and supporting capacity-building initiatives to enhance Iran's resilience and response capabilities.
