Global Affairs Canada states roughly 3,500 Canadians remain in Iran and another 6,700 remain in Israel amidst an intensifying dispute in between the 2 nations.
The department states that count is based upon the voluntary registration of around 80,000 Canadians in the Middle East and does not completely show the number of them might require assistance leaving the area.
Global Affairs Canada states it hasn’t gotten any reports of Canadian injuries or deaths in the dispute.
The department is alerting versus all travel to Iran, Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip and encouraging Canadians in the Middle East to keep track of the news and follow the directions of regional authorities.
Maddy Eisenberg is an Ottawa resident presently stuck in Tel Aviv after her flight home from what was expected to be a one-week journey in Israel was grounded.
Eisenberg states she was informed it might take days or possibly weeks for her to return home, which has actually been a shock to the system.
