260 Tunisian nationals to be repatriated from Lebanon

The Tunisian embassy in Lebanon has announced that a special flight operated by Tunisair is set to repatriate 260 Tunisian nationals on Tuesday.

This initiative comes in response to the escalating situation in Lebanon, prompting many Tunisians to voluntarily request their return home.

In a statement shared on the embassy’s official Facebook page, it was noted that 404 reservation requests were received for the flight.

However, priority will be given to students, displaced individuals, and those in precarious circumstances, particularly in high-risk areas of southern Lebanon.

The embassy emphasized that Tunisians without family support or those facing health issues would also receive preferential treatment.
