    As tensions between Israel and Iran escalate into open conflict, Ghana’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has initiated measures to ensure the safety and possible evacuation of its nationals caught in the crossfire. Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa provided an update on the situation in a Facebook post on Tuesday, June 16, 2025, assuring the public that the government is actively monitoring developments and taking concrete steps to protect Ghanaians in the affected regions.

    According to the Minister, 922 Ghanaian nationals have been identified in Israel, including 65 students enrolled across six different universities. While the situation remains tense, Mr Ablakwa confirmed that no Ghanaian fatalities or injuries have been reported in either Israel or Iran.

    However, the rapidly deteriorating security situation, particularly in Israel—which has declared a state of emergency and shut all borders—has complicated evacuation logistics. “We are currently engaging Israeli authorities for clearance to evacuate our citizens,” Mr Ablakwa said, emphasizing that no evacuation can proceed without express authorisation due to the border closures and security lockdowns.

    Despite the hurdles, Ghana’s diplomatic mission in Tel Aviv has taken significant steps to safeguard its nationals. The embassy has set up regular communication lines with the Ghanaian community to relay information and provide support. In addition, arrangements have been made to grant all Ghanaian residents access to bomb shelters, offering a measure of protection as the conflict intensifies.

    Embassy staff are now operating remotely, following guidance from Israel’s Foreign Ministry, to maintain both safety and uninterrupted coordination. An emergency evacuation plan specific to Israel has also been approved by Ghana’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and will be activated as soon as conditions permit.

    Meanwhile, evacuation efforts in Iran are already in motion, reflecting the urgency with which the Ministry is treating the safety of Ghanaians across the region. Details of the operation have not yet been fully disclosed, but the Minister noted that diplomatic efforts are ongoing to ensure a smooth and safe relocation process for all affected individuals.

    This proactive response by the Ministry comes amid mounting concerns from families and loved ones back home in Ghana, many of whom are anxiously awaiting news about the safety of relatives abroad. Mr Ablakwa’s assurances, however, are a welcome sign that the government is treating the matter with the gravity it deserves.

    As the Middle East conflict evolves, the coming days will be critical. The situation remains fluid, and the government’s ability to respond swiftly and effectively will likely hinge on the cooperation of host countries and the successful implementation of contingency plans already laid out.

    For now, the Ministry is urging all Ghanaian nationals in Israel and Iran to remain in contact with embassy officials, adhere strictly to safety protocols, and await further instructions regarding possible evacuation procedures.
