Measures to evacuate
Kazakh citizens from the Middle Eastern countries were discussed at a meeting
of the operational headquarters at the Ministry of Transport. Notably, several
thousand Kazakh citizens are still unable to return home, as airspace over the
region is either closed or the situation remains unstable in Iran, Israel, the
UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Iraq, and Lebanon.
Kazakh airlines expressed readiness to provide aircraft for return flights once
the airspace of these countries reopens. Evacuation efforts are being
coordinated by the Ministry of Transport in cooperation with the Foreign
Ministry, which ensures round-the-clock communication with state authorities
and foreign governments. Kazakhstan’s diplomatic missions have been put on high
alert, and consular assistance is being provided on-site. The lists of citizens
in the region, including transit zones, are being updated, and emergency
hotlines have been established. Diplomatic staff, in coordination with tourism
companies, are assisting with the accommodation of nationals who are currently
staying at airports and in transit areas. No information has been reported
regarding casualties among Kazakh citizens.
