Super Typhoon Bavi made landfall on July 5, 2026, bringing heavy rainfall and violent winds, resulting in flooding and significant damage. Ports remain closed to commercial traffic due to ongoing assessments of navigation aids and channel conditions. Hazardous seas and high surf warnings are in effect, with dangerous breaking waves up to 20 feet, posing a risk to maritime and coastal activities. Essential services such as transportation, power, water, food supply, telecommunications, emergency services, and medical care may be severely disrupted.

Venezuela Travel Advisory
Venezuela faces significant risks including widespread violent crime, kidnapping, terrorism, and arbitrary detention. There is a high risk of wrongful detention and torture for U.S. nationals.

Turkey
Jun 26, 2026
Turkey Travel Advisory
There is a heightened risk of anti-Western sentiment, and the U.S. government has limited ability to offer emergency services to Americans in the border regions with Syria and Iraq due to safety risks. Terrorist groups continue to plot possible attacks, and terrorists may attack with little or no warning, targeting tourist locations. Arbitrary detentions are a concern, with individuals, including Americans, being detained for alleged links to terrorist groups based on scant evidence and minimal due process.
Tunisia
Jun 24, 2026
Tunisia Travel Advisory
Terrorist attacks remain a significant risk in Tunisia, with potential targets including government buildings, schools, and tourist attractions. Extremist groups and regional instability pose a threat to foreigners. Several areas, particularly near the borders with Algeria and Libya, and mountainous regions, are designated as "Do Not Travel" zones due to ongoing anti-terrorist operations and the presence of militant groups. Additionally, there are advisories regarding unsafe swimming locations due to water pollution.
