We continue to advise reconsider your need to travel to Lebanon due to the uncertain security environment. The security situation in the Middle East is unpredictable. Conflicts in the Middle East could lead to an increase in tensions elsewhere in the region and may result in airspace closures, flight cancellations and other travel disruptions. Prioritise your safety, monitor events and follow local advice.

Demonstrations and protest activity may also occur, and local security situations could deteriorate with little notice. Avoid all demonstrations and protests.

We also continue to advise, do not travel to several areas of Lebanon due to security risks. The situation could deteriorate with no warning. More airstrikes could happen without warning. Flights could be cancelled, and Beirut airport could close with no notice.

Be well prepared to leave quickly or to shelter in place for an extended period. Make sure you have enough food, water and medication. Keep your passport handy. Make sure you have travel insurance with coverage for high-risk destinations.
