In the context of the conflict continuing to escalate dangerously and at risk of expanding in the region, on September 23, the Vietnamese Embassy in Egypt and Lebanon issued an urgent notice advising Vietnamese citizens living and working in Lebanon to leave the country while commercial flights are still operating.
In the urgent notice, the Embassy also advised domestic citizens planning to go to Lebanon to postpone/cancel their trips until the situation stabilizes.
For citizens living and working in Lebanon, the Embassy emphasizes that in case of force majeure and inability to leave Lebanon, they need to be vigilant, closely monitor developments on local media, minimize gatherings in crowded places and absolutely do not go near the Lebanon-Israel border, the area south of the capital Beirut and the northern area near the border with Syria.
The Embassy recommends that people seek temporary shelter in safer areas and have plans to stock up on food and medicine in case of an emergency.
