About INTERSOS:

INTERSOS is a humanitarian organization on the front line of emergencies, bringing assistance to victims of armed conflicts, natural disasters, and extreme exclusion with particular attention to the protection of the most vulnerable people.

INTERSOS in Iran:

Following the Taliban retaking power in Afghanistan in August 2021, which has created a sudden high influx of Afghan nationals in Iran, INTERSOS decided to assess opportunities to establish its presence in Iran. INTERSOS obtained approval from the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran for the establishment of its presence in Tehran - Iran in November 2021 and started conducting its joint activities in June 2022. INTERSOS activities in Iran mainly focus on the health/medical sector and how to support the existing health system in coping with the high number of new refugees and its impacts on local Iranians. In addition, some social activities around people with disabilities and children were linked to medical activities.
