Lebanon
Since September 6, 2024 the Australian government has indicated that Australian citizens should leave Lebanon. Regardless, a large number of Australian citizens remained and free flights have been made available - raising concerns that this is "sending the wrong message" in terms of individuals responding to government travel warnings, regardless of their reasons. The government flagged the end of flights from October 13 in the following Travel Advice Update.
"Seats on Australian Government assisted departure flights from Beirut are available until Sunday, 13 October. No further flights are scheduled after Sunday. If you're an Australian citizen or permanent resident in Lebanon, register with DFAT's crisis portal. Keep your registration details up to date so we can contact you. See the 'Safety' section for details on how to register."
