The Hong Kong government has raised the outbound travel alert for Iran and Israel to black, and expanded the amber alert to include Bahrain, Jordan, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The government on Monday announced the escalation “in view of the continued deterioration of the situation in the Middle East region.”
“The black [outbound travel alert] signifies severe threat,” a government spokesman said.

“Due to the highly unpredictable security situation in Iran and Israel, the government advises Hong Kong residents to avoid all travel to Iran and Israel.”
He added that residents who were in these countries should “attend to personal safety and leave or relocate to relatively safe regions immediately”.
