SITUATION OF MALAYSIANS IN LEBANON
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, through the Embassy of Malaysia in Beirut, continues to closely monitor recent developments in Lebanon following the attacks in Beirut and increased cross-border clashes in the south of Lebanon.
The safety and welfare of Malaysians residing in Lebanon remain the Ministry’s utmost priority. The Embassy of Malaysia in Beirut has been in contact with Malaysians in Lebanon. Based on the Embassy’s record, there are 23 Malaysians registered with the Embassy, and all have been reported safe.
As a precautionary measure, the Ministry wishes to advise all Malaysians living in Lebanon to remain vigilant and give utmost attention to their safety and security. They may also consider moving out to safer places or voluntarily return to Malaysia if they feel their safety and security are at risk.
The Ministry also wishes to advise Malaysians to defer travelling to Lebanon due to the volatile situation in the country.
The Embassy is also in constant communication with the Malaysian Battalion (MALBATT) 850-11 who are serving with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) to ensure the safety of our peacekeepers. All deployments and assignments of MALBATT personnel in Lebanon will continue to be under the coordination of UNIFIL.
