AFGHANISTANOver 1.4 million Afghans returned from Iran and Pakistan in 2025 amid rising tensions and deportations, including 1,080,000 from Iran and 332,000 from Pakistan, according to IOM and UNHCR. The increase in returns from Iran is linked to recent Iran-Israel hostilities, anti-Afghan sentiment, and deportation operations. Between 1 and 12 July, 339,000 Afghans returned from Iran, straining resources in western provinces. Returns from Pakistan continue to be driven by the implementation of Illegal Foreigners Repatriation Plan, affecting Afghan Citizen Card holders, undocumented people, and some refugees, including Proof of Registration (PoR) cardholders. Humanitarian needs remain severe, including protection, livelihoods, WASH, healthcare and shelter, but limited funding hampers aid efforts. Emergency Relief Coordinator, Tom Fletcher, allocated US$10 million to assist. Returns from Pakistan are expected to rise after the Interior Minister announced PoR cards will not be extended beyond 30 June 2025.MYANMARCivilians in Myanmar continue to bear the consequences of ongoing conflict across the country, with airstrikes and shelling between 14 and 15 July reportedly killing at least 10 people and injuring 20 others, according to various sources.

OCHA has deployed a staff member to Lahore to support emergency coordination and engage with the Punjab Disaster Management Authority and humanitarian partners.PHILIPPINESAs of 22 July, the combined effects of the southwest monsoon and multiple weather systems over the past week affected over 1.6 million people (481,732 families) in all regions in the country. The National Risk Reduction and Management Council has recorded over 490 flooding and landslide incidents and has confirmed 2 deaths. According to the Department of Social Welfare and Development, 501evacuation centres remain open, with most of the 151,071 people who have been displaced residing in Region 6 and the National Capital Region. State weather bureau, PAGASA, forecasts that monsoon rains will persist over the coming, driven by the potential formation of additional low-pressure areas. Heavy to intense rainfall (100-200mm) is expected, with warning remaining in effect for Metro Manila and other parts of the country through the end of the week. The government, at the national and local levels, have taken the lead in search and rescue and response efforts and has suspended government work and school classes in the affected areas. The government and its partners have provided over $1.3 million (PHP 74M) worth of assistance to those affected.VIET NAMTropical Storm Wipha made landfall in northern Viet Nam on 22 July before weakening into a tropical depression over Ninh Binh and Thanh Hoa provinces, and subsequently into a low-pressure system near the Viet Nam–Lao PDR border. The storm brought heavy rainfall, particularly in Nghe An and Thanh Hoa provinces, with Sam Son (Thanh Hoa) recording up to 487 mm of precipitation. Flood levels on the Ca River have exceeded historical records at several monitoring stations. As of 23 July, one person is reported missing and another injured. Initial damage assessments indicate at least 420 houses damaged or roof blown off across Phu Tho, Thanh Hoa, and Nghe An provinces. More than 119,000 hectares of rice paddies were submerged, along with the reported loss of over 3,000 poultry and nine livestock. In response, the Prime Minister has issued an urgent directive to Nghe An authorities and relevant ministries to strengthen preparedness and response efforts. The Deputy Prime Minister visited affected areas in Thanh Hoa, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has issued alerts on flood risks and dike safety. Forecasts indicate continued heavy rainfall through 25 July, with further flooding anticipated in vulnerable areas.
