Lithuania Evacuates Citizens from the Middle East: A Priority List and a Hot Line Announced

Lithuania's government is organizing the evacuation of its citizens from the Middle East, emphasizing priority for vulnerable groups.

Lithuania is actively planning the evacuation of its citizens from the Middle East amidst safety concerns in the region. The National Crisis Management Center (NKVC) is coordinating logistical efforts, while the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (URM) is providing assistance to citizens who have expressed the need to leave. The initiative focuses on prioritizing the most vulnerable individuals, including persons with disabilities, pregnant women, and socially vulnerable persons, who may not have the means to evacuate on their own.

Citizens already registered for evacuation do not need to take any further action, as they will be contacted directly once a specific evacuation plan is confirmed. Those who have not yet registered are urged to complete the registration form immediately to facilitate their inclusion in the evacuation efforts. The URM emphasizes that each request for help will be assessed individually, considering personal situations and security risks, ensuring a targeted approach to those in need.

The Lithuanian diplomatic missions and the Ministry are operating around the clock to assist citizens in the region. This comprehensive evacuation plan reflects Lithuania's commitment to ensuring the safety of its citizens abroad, highlighting the government's readiness to respond promptly to emerging crises and to provide necessary support to those facing dangerous situations.
