Kenyan Government Launches Urgent Evacuation Plan Amid Rising Tensions in Lebanon

In response to escalating violence in Lebanon, the Kenyan government has implemented an emergency evacuation plan for its citizens in the region. The Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs has issued a statement expressing grave concern over the rapidly deteriorating situation and urging Kenyans to move to safer locations or leave the country immediately.

The Ministry has established multiple channels for registration and assistance. Kenyans in Lebanon are advised to register for evacuation via the provided link or contact the Ministry directly at +96590906719, +96171175006, or +254114757002. For those with family members in Lebanon, the same contact numbers are available for coordination.

The government has also called upon the Kenyan diaspora to help spread this critical information to affected individuals. The Ministry reassured that the safety of its citizens remains a top priority and promised continuous updates and support through social media platforms.

This evacuation comes amid a tense regional climate following the killing of a Hamas leader in Tehran and an Israeli airstrike on Beirut that claimed the life of a Hezbollah commander. The escalation has heightened fears of a broader regional conflict, further straining Lebanon’s already overwhelmed healthcare system.
