Over 60 countries make up the list
The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) has updated its ‘no travel’ list for British citizens which includes 69 nations across three tiers of warning.
Countries like Israel and Russia are among the 14 countries on a “do not travel” list, while FCDO also advises against travel to dozens of others.
Amid the disruption caused by the Middle East conflict, tourists and UK nationals in these nations should also leave immediately for their own safety, according to FCDO.
A further 55 countries are flagged as having no-go zones, as the Foreign Office has advised against “all travel” and “all but essential travel” to these countries or parts of them.
“Regional escalation poses significant security risks and has led to travel disruption. Stay away from areas around security or military facilities. Follow the instructions of the local authorities and monitor local and international media for the latest information”, the FCDO said.
Travel continues to suffer as the impact has already been felt economically with fuel prices rocketing in the UK.
“Stay away from areas around security or military facilities. Follow the instructions of the local authorities and monitor local and international media for the latest information”, the Foreign Office added.
UK nationals in the many of these places are advised to return to Great Britain and no visiting is discouraged.
Authorities say, in each case, Brits are vulnerable to “heightened risks”.
