The government has issued a safety advisory to Kenyan nationals residing in Israel and Iran as the conflict between the two nations continues to escalate to worrying levels.

Since June 13, the conflict between the two Middle Eastern nations has intensified significantly, as both nations are now engaging in large-scale military operations.

In a statement on Wednesday, June 18, the State Department for Diaspora Affairs urged Kenyans who find themselves in the two warring countries to exercise extreme caution and prioritise their personal safety. "In light of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran, the State Department for Diaspora Affairs issues the following urgent advisory to all Kenyan nationals in Israel and Iran," the advisory reads.
