The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has issued advisories about 68 countries due to security concerns, health hazards, and legal discrepancies with UK law
Holidaymakers are being urged to thoroughly check the safety of their vacation destinations before jetting off. The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office warns that disregarding travel advice could not only leave you without insurance but also potentially in danger.
This encompasses locations with threats of political instability, conflict, terrorism, or extreme weather conditions. To identify these high-risk zones, the FCDO issues travel alerts, which can advise against "all travel" or "all but essential travel". Out of 226 countries or territories featured on the FCDO's advice pages, 68 currently have regions deemed too risky due to security issues, health risks, and legal inconsistencies with UK law, as underscored by The Independent. Furthermore, recent amendments to travel guidance for Middle Eastern countries have been implemented in response to the escalating tensions between Israel and Lebanon, which pose the risk of swift escalation and broader regional consequences.
"On 1 October, Iran launched around 200 ballistic missiles at Israel. On 26 October, Israel carried out military action against Iran. Monitor this travel advice and other media as the situation is changing fast," the FCDO cautions. Below is the exhaustive list of countries the Foreign Office advises avoiding.
