DFA to 11,000 OFWs in Lebanon: Leave now while airport is open 

Quick Summary:

TEN months after Israel launched a war against Hamas and Hezbollah over the October 7 carnage carried out by Hamas in Gaza, only 356 among 11,000 Filipino workers have left Lebanon despite the Philippine government’s offer to repatriate them all for free.

The Overseas Workers Welfare Administrations (OWWA) said preparations are now in place to repatriate hundreds of remaining OFWs in conflict-hit Lebanon.

Lebanese immigration officials told the Embassy that their estimates of Filipino workers in Lebanon is around 11,000.
