Reminder and Recommendation from the U.S. Embassy in Beirut

The U.S. Embassy in Beirut noted today, Friday, that it "encourages those wishing to leave Lebanon to book any available ticket, even if that flight does not depart immediately or does not follow their preferred route." It added, "We recommend that American citizens who choose not to leave Lebanon prepare emergency plans to handle urgent situations and be ready to stay in their locations for an extended period of time."
