If the Middle East war spreads, it could create a “permanent” refugee crisis, Turkiye’s top diplomat has warned, as Lebanon said Israel’s bombardment had displaced over a million people, according to AFP.

“If the war … spreads, there is a possibility this will turn into a permanent refugee crisis with refugees seeking shelter outside the borders of their countries,” Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has told a news conference.

“This needs to stop as soon as possible.”
