Regarding the reasons for the warning, the US State Department message mentioned several reasons, including the high rates of infection with the Corona virus, and the high rate of violent crimes.
“It may be political motives behind the multiple unsolved killings over the past 12 months in Lebanon, so US citizens living and working within Lebanese territory should be aware of the dangers of remaining in the country and reconsider their personal safety,” she said. .
The letter also talked about what it described as “the fragility of the country’s infrastructure,” pointing to “the continuous power cuts and fuel shortages,” alluding to the long queues of cars in front of gas stations, saying: “Long queues of cars in front of fuel stations cause traffic jams all over the country. And the Lebanese media report almost daily problems, some of them armed, in front of the stations due to the scarcity of this material.
She said: “Pharmacies and hospitals have warned of a chronic shortage of medicines and medical supplies, as well as the difficulty of paying medical staff fees. Therefore, travelers must bring sufficient quantities of medicines to cover the length of their stay.”
The US State Department message confirmed that “the internal security policies of the US Embassy may be modified at any time and without prior notice.”
It is noteworthy that this level of warning is usually carried out by the United States of America with countries that suffer from famine and conflicts, including Afghanistan, Israel/occupied Palestine, Sudan, Yemen and Iran.
