As part of ongoing measures to protect Emiratis abroad, the United Arab Emirates has issued warnings to its citizens in a number of nations to stay vigilant and stay away from places impacted by protests and bad weather.
The UAE embassies in Madrid and Rome issued separate advice advising citizens who are currently in Spain and Italy to be cautious and stay away from protest locations in certain cities. In order to lower potential risks, the missions made clear how important it is to heed local authorities’ safety recommendations and keep an eye on official updates.
Additionally, residents were urged to sign up for the Twajudi program, a government website that facilitates quick communication and emergency aid. Those in need were urged by the embassies to call the UAE’s 24-hour hotlines.
