New Zealand Prepares Consular Support and Evacuation Plans for Citizens in Middle East

4 hours ago | 45 views

The New Zealand Government is actively preparing to assist citizens stranded in the Middle East amid ongoing conflict by pre-deploying consular staff and two Defence Force planes for potential evacuation operations. Due to closed airspace and limited flights, New Zealanders are advised to shelter in place or use safe opportunities to leave, while the government coordinates with consular partners and airlines. Around 3,000 New Zealanders are registered in the region, with a 24/7 Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade response operation in place to provide urgent assistance.
