The Ministry stated that the government is extremely concerned about the quickly developing situation in Lebanon and how it may affect Ghanaians residing there.
The Ministry issued a statement urging all Ghanaians to leave the country right away by using the few flights that are still accessible in Lebanon, given the rapidly worsening circumstances.
To prevent any emergencies, it is critical that all citizens of Ghana take immediate action on this advice.
