DFA Raises Alert Level 4 in Libya

The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) on Sunday raised alert level in Libya to No. “4” amid the unstable political and security situation in the country.

DFA explained that this level means mandatory evacuation as a counter measure against the “extremely unstable” situation in Libya.

“Under Alert Level 4, the Philippine government undertakes evacuation of about 13,000 Filipinos there as soon as possible while no Filipino national will be allowed to travel to Libya,” it said.

The agency also urges Filipinos in Libya to contact the Philippine Embassy in Tripoli for instructions regarding mass evacuation.
