week marked by war, long journeys by train or car, communications blackouts and borrowed phones.<\/p>\n<p>Snow-covered hills surround the Iranian side of the frontier at the Kapikoy border gate in Turkiye\u2019s Van province, where families and lone travellers emerge, many after days on the road.<\/p>\n<p>Hundreds have crossed in recent days, and there is now a steady flow in both directions as the US-Israel war on Iran expands across the region.<\/p>\n<p>Some say they fled because bombs were falling on their cities. Others decided to leave after losing contact with loved ones, travelling by land when flights were cancelled.<\/p>\n<p>Egyptian factory worker Mohammad Fauzi, 46, crossed from Iran with no Turkish SIM card, no local currency and no knowledge of the language. He only had the phone numbers of two Egyptian friends in Ankara and Izmir \u2013 and a plan to reach Cairo.<\/p>\n<p>He had watched work grind to a halt in Iran during his three months there in the marble and granite sector, with many factories closing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe situation is very difficult, and working has stopped. I can\u2019t work, I can\u2019t stay because the situation is dangerous now, so I want to go to my home, my country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jalileh Jabari, 63, said she fled Tehran because \u201cbombs are falling\u201d and the situation had become unbearable. The highways to the border were calm, but uncertainty in the capital pushed her to leave. She was travelling to Istanbul, where her daughter studies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf things become good there, if Iran becomes good, I will come back. If there is peace, I will return.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As many leave Iran, some are returning.<\/p>\n<p>Leila, 45, who did not give the Reuters news agency her last name, decided to head back from Istanbul \u2013 where she occasionally assists academics working with a German historical research institution \u2013 after she lost contact with her family in Shiraz.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow can I be safe when I feel my family, maybe they are in danger?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n<p>One of her brothers is seriously ill and in a coma, increasing her worry. For her, being physically with her family, even in danger, feels more bearable than waiting abroad.<\/p>\n<p>She plans to remain in Iran until the war is over.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI cannot guard them against bombs. But when I feel I can be with them together, maybe we die together, or I can help them as long as we are alive.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Published On 10 Mar 202610 Mar 2026 Click here to share on social media share2 Share plus2googleAdd Al Jazeera on Googleinfo At a remote mountain pass in eastern Turkiye, travellers from Iran step across the threshold with a mix of fear, exhaustion and relief, arriving after a week marked by war, long journeys by train [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14540,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14539","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-middle-east-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inernews.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14539","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inernews.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inernews.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inernews.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inernews.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=14539"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/inernews.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14539\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inernews.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/14540"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inernews.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=14539"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inernews.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=14539"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inernews.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=14539"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
