Bangladesh on Saturday advised its nationals in Qatar to exercise heightened caution and avoid areas near military installations amid security concerns due to the ongoing Iran-Israel ‘war’.
In a statement issued by the Bangladesh Embassy in Doha, expatriates were urged to prioritise their safety by remaining indoors or staying in secure locations whenever possible.
Citizens were specifically advised to avoid military facilities and to refrain from going outside unless absolutely necessary until the situation stabilises.
The Embassy also instructed Bangladeshis to keep essential items readily available at all times, including cash, Qatar IDs, health cards, necessary medications, mobile phone chargers and dry food supplies.
They were reminded to strictly comply with Qatari laws and closely follow all official announcements and directives issued by the host government.
The Mission cautioned that sharing photos, videos or unverified information related to the situation on social media could violate local regulations, urging nationals to exercise restraint and responsibility online.
Similar messages were conveyed to Bangladeshis residing in Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, and Iraq through Bangladesh Missions in those countries.
