The UK Foreign Office has updated its travel advice, placing 14 countries on a 'do not travel' list due to ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) has issued warnings against all travel or all but essential travel to entire countries or parts thereof, including Spain, Germany, Finland, and Poland.
Of the 226 countries or territories with travel advice pages, 76 currently have no-go zones. The FCDO stated: 'Regional escalation poses significant security risks and has led to travel disruption. Stay away from areas around security or military facilities. Follow the instructions of the local authorities and monitor local and international media for the latest information.'
UK nationals in these high-risk areas are advised to return to Great Britain, and no one should visit from the UK. Authorities warn that Brits face 'heightened risks' in each case.
