Meanwhile, he said all missions have been tasked to identify Ghanaians within their jurisdictions who wish to be evacuated for the urgent consideration of the government.
According to him, a reliable database of all Ghanaians in Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE, Iran, and Turkey, including those on short visits and those transiting, has been compiled.
