Kenya Allocates $775,000 to Evacuate Citizens Stranded in Middle East Conflict Zones
The Kenyan government has stepped in to rescue over 1,000 nationals stranded in Middle Eastern conflict zones, allocating $775,000 for the evacuation process. The decision comes after heightened concerns over the safety of Kenyan workers, particularly in regions like Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, and Iraq, where tensions and conflicts have put lives at risk.
This rescue operation aims to provide safe passage for citizens who have been caught in escalating political unrest and security threats. The funds will cover travel arrangements, accommodation, and the overall logistics involved in their return to Kenya. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is coordinating efforts with embassies in the region to ensure that the process is smooth and that all stranded individuals are safely brought back home.
This move has been widely praised, as it reflects the government’s commitment to protecting its citizens abroad. Many families have been waiting for this intervention due to the increasing reports of violence and hardship experienced by Kenyan workers in these regions.
As the evacuation plan unfolds, the government has urged Kenyan citizens in affected areas to register with their embassies for assistance
