Vietnamese citizens living and working in Lebanon are advised to leave the country while commercial flights are still operating.

According to VNA, 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 Vietnamese 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.

The Embassy continues to monitor and keep in close contact with our people to prepare contingency plans in case of emergency situations.

The Embassy is also ready to coordinate with relevant agencies in case of need to evacuate or protect citizens from Lebanon.

In case of emergency, the Embassy recommends that people immediately contact the Vietnamese Embassy in Egypt and Lebanon via hotline: +20 102 613 9869; Office of the Honorary Consulate of Vietnam in Lebanon: +961 70 229 300; or Citizen Protection Hotline +84 981 84 84 84.
