DIRCO Calls for Evacuation of SA Citizen in Middle East

South African authorities have issued urgent warnings to more than six thousand citizens currently in the Middle East as escalating missile strikes, drone attacks, and air operations increase the danger to civilians. DIRCO is advising all non‑essential travellers to leave immediately using the limited commercial flights still operating and to register on the Travel Smart system so consular officials can reach them during border changes or emergency evacuations. Citizens struggling with visas, flight cancellations, or border crossings have been given dedicated emergency contact numbers in Pretoria, Jordan, and inside the conflict zone for real‑time assistance. The ANC‑led government has also restated its foreign‑policy position by calling for restraint and adherence to what it describes as international law, although this stance does not alter the practical limits of evacuation efforts. With airspace closures and suspended flights across the region, officials warn that the window for safe departure may close quickly and urge South Africans to treat evacuation as a matter of urgency.
