Thirty-two Sri Lankans have sought refuge at the Sri Lankan Embassy in Beirut due to the escalating conflict between Israel and Lebanon, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed.
The embassy is providing necessary assistance and maintaining communication with those affected.
No Sri Lankan citizens have faced adverse consequences from the conflict so far. Meanwhile, flights from Sri Lanka to Israel have resumed, though the embassy advises travelers to confirm flight details due to recent disruptions.
Lebanon’s Ministry of Health reports over 2,000 deaths, including children and women, amid intensifying Israeli attacks.
