flag Over 4,300 Canadians evacuated from Middle East amid post-U.S. airstrike tensions; no casualties reported.

flag Over 4,300 Canadians, permanent residents, and their family members have returned to Canada from the Middle East between March 4 and 8, part of a larger effort that has assisted more than 5,000 people since U.S. airstrikes on Iran sparked regional conflict on February 28. flag The government coordinated evacuations via direct and indirect routes, with 871 individuals relocating to safe third countries like Turkey. flag Daily requests for help have dropped to about half their peak level, and fewer than five percent of the nearly 110,000 Canadians registered in the region have sought evacuation support. flag Global Affairs Canada confirmed no Canadian casualties from the violence and continues to offer travel assistance while urging those in the region to consider leaving.
