It is estimated that between 15,000 and 20,000 Australian citizens are in Lebanon at any given time. The federal government has urged Australians to leave Lebanon while commercial flights are still available, amid fears that the current conflict between Israel and Hezbollah will escalate. Foreign Minister Penny Wong has warned that the government lacks the capacity to evacuate every Australian who is currently in Lebanon, while Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has criticised Australians for continuing to travel to Lebanon in recent months despite growing tensions in the region.
