Under the directives of Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mr. Fuad Hussein, the Foreign Ministry and its missions abroad are continuing their efforts to monitor the situation of Iraqi citizens stranded in several airports and neighboring countries, taking all necessary measures to ensure their safety and facilitate their return home.

Iraqi missions in the United Arab Emirates, the Republic of Turkey, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan have successfully secured entry visas for citizens facing difficulties in completing entry formalities through direct coordination with the relevant authorities in those countries.

As well the Ministry intensified coordination with its missions in Kuwait, Iran, Turkey, Jordan, and Lebanon to organize the overland evacuation of stranded Iraqis and provide suitable transportation to ensure their safe return.

To enhance communication and provide immediate support, the Iraqi embassies in these countries have designated emergency lines to respond promptly to citizens’ calls and urgent needs. Additionally consular teams continue to work around the clock to monitor the conditions of Iraqi nationals and to ensure their protection and well-being.

The Foreign Ministry reaffirms that its embassies in neighboring countries are continuing to look after the Iraqi community and support their needs, and to offer consular and logistical support to stranded citizens, in line with the Minister’s directives and the Ministry’s commitment to safeguarding the rights and welfare of Iraqis abroad under all circumstances.
