Global Affairs Canada is warning Canadians in Lebanon not to rely solely on the Canadian government for evacuation in the case of all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah.
“Government-assisted evacuations from a foreign country are an option of last resort, when all means of personal and commercial transportation have been exhausted, and the safety and security of its citizens is compromised,“ Global Affairs said in a June 27 statement to The Epoch Times.
