Canada is taking steps to evacuate its citizens from Lebanon as Israeli airstrikes continue to target Beirut.
In response to the escalating violence, Canada has arranged seats on available commercial flights to assist its nationals in leaving the region.
Over 700 people have been killed in Lebanon this week due to the airstrikes, raising fears of a broader and more destructive conflict.
The Canadian government is encouraging its citizens in Lebanon to register with the embassy if they need help securing a flight.
Financial aid, including loans, is also being offered to those requiring assistance with their departure.
As the situation remains tense, Canada’s efforts aim to ensure the safety of its citizens while facilitating their exit from the increasingly dangerous environment.
