China Evacuates Over 200 Nationals Amid Lebanon Conflict

The Chinese government has safely evacuated its citizens as tensions escalate following Israel's operations in Lebanon.

China's foreign ministry confirmed the evacuation of 215 Chinese nationals from Lebanon, including residents from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
The evacuation comes amid intensified conflict in the Middle East, with Israel conducting ground raids in southern Lebanon.
Israel's military actions in Lebanon follow Hezbollah's support for Hamas, which attacked Israel in October 2023.
Several other countries, including South Korea, Russia, and the UK, have also evacuated their citizens from Lebanon.
China continues to urge international powers to prevent further escalation in the region, especially after Iran's missile strike on Israel.
