Foreign Affairs Ministry Urges Kenyans in Lebanon to Evacuate or Move to Safer Areas

In light of escalating tensions in the Middle East, Kenya’s Foreign Affairs Ministry, through the Department of Diaspora Affairs, has issued an urgent advisory to all Kenyans residing in Lebanon. The ministry has strongly urged its citizens to either leave the country or relocate to safer areas within Lebanon.

The Middle East region is experiencing heightened tension after Iran vowed revenge on Israel over the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of the Hamas group. This situation has raised concerns about the safety of foreign nationals in Lebanon, including the Kenyan community.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has provided several contact numbers for Kenyans in Lebanon to register for evacuation. Those seeking assistance can call +96590906719, +96171175006, or +254114757002. Additionally, an online form has been made available for registration purposes. The ministry has also appealed to Kenyans with family members in Lebanon to reach out for coordination and safety measures.

Kenya’s Consulate in Beirut has reported that a significant number of Kenyans in Lebanon are employed in various sectors, including domestic work, food and dairy technology, veterinary services, agriculture, tourism, IT, and hospitality. The Kenyan community in Lebanon has grown over the years, with many moving to the country for employment opportunities.

The Department of Diaspora Affairs has emphasized the importance of safety and has assured Kenyans that their well-being is a top priority. The ministry has also requested Kenyans in the diaspora to help disseminate this information to ensure that all affected individuals are aware of the advisory.

As the situation continues to unfold, the ministry has urged all Kenyans in Lebanon to stay informed through official channels and to take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
