Norway’s ambassador will remain, together with a small number of other diplomats. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not want to say how many are leaving and how many are staying in the country. Press spokesperson Ragnhild Simenstad tells news that this is a clear signal to Norwegian citizens to follow the travel advice to leave Lebanon. – We are very worried about what is happening, it is tense and unclear. The travel advice from the Norwegian authorities encourages all Norwegian citizens to travel out of Lebanon, she says to news. In recent days, the embassy has assisted several Norwegians in leaving the country. – In collaboration with the airline Middle East Airlines, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has ensured that 110 Norwegian citizens and some with valid travel documents have been offered seats on flights out of Beirut. Several people chose not to take advantage of the offer, writes UD in a press release. Bomb attack near the embassy The Ministry of Foreign Affairs points, among other things, to a bomb attack near the embassy as the reason why the diplomats were taken out. Simenstad says they are continuously assessing the security situation for the remaining diplomats. Do you want to know more about what is happening abroad?
