Following US-Israeli bombing in Iran in March 2026, people are fleeing the country, seeking safety across the border into Turkiye. Travelers are arriving at the Kapikoy border gate in Van province, many after enduring long journeys and communication disruptions. Some are leaving due to bombings and the dangerous situation, while others lost contact with family. Foreign workers are also departing, seeking to return to their home countries after work in Iran halted. Conversely, some Iranians are returning to Iran from Turkiye, driven by concern for family safety despite the ongoing conflict.
