In light of escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, along with ongoing Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon, Pakistan has issued a warning for its citizens to leave the country.
The Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) released a statement advising against travel to Lebanon due to the deteriorating security situation. The ministry specifically urged Pakistanis currently living in Lebanon to utilize available commercial flights for their return home.
For those unable to leave for various reasons, the ministry emphasized the need to exercise “extreme caution” and seek out “safe locations” within Lebanon.
Additionally, citizens are advised to maintain contact with the Embassy of Pakistan in Beirut for support and updates regarding their safety. The government underscores the critical importance of prioritizing personal safety and remaining vigilant during this period of heightened unrest.
As the situation continues to develop, the Pakistani authorities remain committed to monitoring the situation closely and providing timely guidance to its citizens abroad. They encourage all Pakistanis in Lebanon to stay informed about the evolving circumstances and to take the necessary precautions to ensure their well-being during this challenging time.
Overall, the advisory reflects Pakistan’s concern for the safety of its citizens in a region experiencing significant conflict.
