From Tehran to Canada via Turkey: one Iranian's bid to flee the war | AFP

Dragging two suitcases and a backpack, Homa crosses the Kapikoy border post in eastern Turkey after a long journey from Tehran. She was in the Iranian capital on vacation on June 13 when Israel launched a large-scale attack on the country, to which Iran responded, with the two countries now engaging militarily with unprecedented intensity. A business analyst in Canada, Homa found herself stranded in Iran, as the country closed its airspace, and had to take a bus on a 850km (530 miles) trip to the Turkish border.
