Security risks
Travellers are strongly advised not to travel to the Tripoli area in Northern Lebanon or to Palestinian refugee camps. The situation is unpredictable and could deteriorate without warning. Outbreaks of violence could spread to other areas of the country, including other refugee camps.
Beirut is also a high risk area, prone to violent street deomnstrations and bombing attacks.
Travellers should ensure that they carry personal identity documentation at all times. |
