An estimated 6.1 million people are internally displaced, a 17 percent rise from October 2022, said the International Organization for Migration [IOM] in a statement on Thursday. "As the conflict intensifies, the humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate, and millions are facing acute food insecurity as well as other critical needs."

The attack resulted in the displacement of over 7,800 people and the loss of housing and personal items. The IOM strongly condemned this"grave violation" of international humanitarian law and said attacks on civilians may constitute war crimes.
