Families walk roads emptied of traffic toward UN-operated temporary shelters, carrying what they could. The OCHA May 1 update recorded 140,000+ civilian units damaged since February 28. By late April, authorities confirmed 3,375 civilian deaths and 32,314 injuries nationwide. The highest casualties were in Tehran, Hormozgan — where Minab is located — and Isfahan provinces. UNICEF warned of an accelerating child welfare crisis, with over 1.2 million children out of school. The psychological toll, the agency noted, would outlast the bombs by a generation.
