Canada’s response to the conflict in Lebanon
The situation throughout Lebanon, including in Beirut, remains volatile and unpredictable due to violent clashes between Israel and Hezbollah, including daily rocket and missile fire and air strikes, often resulting in casualties.
As conditions continue to worsen, the Government of Canada remains fully engaged and is focused on the safety and security of Canadians in the region.

Information for Canadians and permanent residents who want to leave Lebanon
We continue to urge Canadians and permanent residents to leave Lebanon by commercial means.
As commercial options out of Lebanon become increasingly limited, we are providing information directly to those who are having difficulty leaving Lebanon about existing commercial departure options out of the country.
This is not a Government of Canada-assisted departure or evacuation.
Travellers are responsible for paying for these travel options and for making their own arrangements for accommodations, meals and any onward travel.
If you are in Lebanon and require information about leaving on a commercial flight, contact the Government of Canada at me-mo.sos@international.gc.ca.

How Canada is helping
Canada is working closely with the international community and regional partners to support the de-escalation of the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
To date in 2024, Canada has announced more than 56 million in humanitarian assistance funding to assist crisis-affected people in Lebanon. This funding will help experienced Canadian and international organizations provide food, water, emergency health care, protection services and other life-saving assistance.
Recognizing the generosity of Canadians and their desire to assist those affected by the conflict in Lebanon, Canada announced that it will match up to $6 million in donations made to the Canadian Red Cross’ and the Humanitarian Coalition’s . Every donation made by individuals to these organizations from September 24 to November 3, 2024, will be matched to a maximum of $3 million for each appeal.
