Germany evacuates some staff, medically vulnerable nationals from Lebanon

Germany has evacuated some nonessential staff, families of embassy workers and German nationals who are medically vulnerable out of Lebanon and will continue to support others trying to leave the country, a statement says.

The German foreign ministry raised its crisis level for missions in Beirut, Ramallah and Tel Aviv again over the weekend, though the embassies there remain operational.

There are currently 1,800 registered German citizens in Lebanon, a spokesperson for the German foreign ministry says.
