Ottawa: The Canadian government is urging Canadians in Lebanon to leave immediately while flights are still available due to rising violence between Israel and Hezbollah. Currently, they are not providing assistance for evacuations. There are about 45,000 Canadians in Lebanon, with over 20,000 registered with the government. Lebanon is classified as having the highest risk level, and travel is strongly discouraged. The security situation is worsening, with recent conflicts resulting in many casualties. Canadians in Lebanon are advised to keep their travel documents up to date and to contact the Canadian embassy if they need help.
