Immediate Response for Lebanon Crisis
Evacuation Services for Escalating Tensions in Lebanon
Information correct as of 1200 BST 2nd of October 2024
The Middle East is witnessing escalating tensions, with the Israel-Hezbollah conflict in Lebanon intensifying, after the IDF launched a ground offensive in Lebanon.
The IDF has issued evacuation orders for multiple villages, and urban areas are witnessing increasing unrest as tensions rise. The situation remains fluid, with regional implications becoming more pronounced.
Nations worldwide are activating contingency plans for evacuating their citizens, with key efforts focused on securing safe transport routes out of Lebanon. Western governments including the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, United States, and Portugal, are urging their citizens to leave the country immediately, and preparations are underway for evacuations by sea and air.
Western government actions taken to date:
- The UK has positioned military assets in Cyprus, deploying around 700 troops and two Royal Navy ships, as part of contingency plans for evacuating nationals.
- Australia and Canada are collaborating on evacuation efforts, with plans to evacuate citizens by sea using commercial vessels.
- The U.S. has sent troops to Cyprus to aid in the potential evacuation of Americans, while Portugal is advising against travel and preparing for evacuation in cooperation with the EU.
With a highly dynamic and evolving security landscape, businesses operating in the region are likely to be considering the evacuation of their employees and/or securing their assets. Beirut’s airport remains operational, but safe travel options may become limited due to the rapidly changing situation on the ground.
