The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has requested over €700,000 in state funding to facilitate evacuation flights from the Middle East. This request follows the outbreak of war in Iran earlier this spring. The funds would cover the costs associated with bringing citizens home from the region. The ministry did not specify the number of citizens needing evacuation, nor the specific countries from which they would be extracted. The request indicates a proactive approach by the government to ensure the safety of its nationals given the escalating conflict. Approval of the funding is pending state review and allocation. This move underscores growing concerns about regional stability and potential risks to foreign nationals.
