Lebanon Travel Advisory
There is a high risk of terrorism, armed conflict, civil unrest, crime, and kidnapping in Lebanon. Military activity, including airstrikes and exchanges of fire across the border with Israel, has escalated, leading to mass displacement in the south. Unexploded ordnance is also a hazard in affected areas. The security situation is volatile and can change rapidly with little notice.

Do not travel to Ukraine due to the ongoing war with Russia. The country faces frequent missile and drone attacks, including in major cities and civilian areas, posing a significant security risk.
