India has issued a pressing advisory for its citizens to leave Lebanon immediately due to escalating violence in the region. The Indian Embassy in Beirut has warned nationals to exercise extreme caution and depart Lebanon as soon as possible ¹. This advisory comes after a significant escalation in the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, resulting in 51 deaths and 223 injuries from Israeli strikes on Wednesday alone ¹.
The ongoing tensions have displaced approximately 200,000 people in Lebanon since Hezbollah began firing rockets into northern Israel nearly a year ago ¹. The Indian government’s advisory reflects the gravity of the situation, emphasizing the need for citizens to prioritize their safety. As tensions continue to rise, it’s crucial for Indian nationals to heed this warning and take necessary precautions.
The conflict has also resulted in significant humanitarian concerns, with Lebanon’s health minister reporting 51 people killed and 223 wounded in Israeli strikes ¹. The international community is closely monitoring the situation, and efforts are being made to resolve the conflict peacefully.
