"Get out": Trudeau urges Canadians to leave Lebanon as conflict intensifies

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau urged Canadian citizens still in Lebanon on Saturday to sign up to be evacuated on special flights, which have already helped more than 1,000 leave as security there deteriorates. "The risks in the region have been known for a long time, which is why for the past many months we have been exhorting Canadians to get out of Lebanon," Trudeau said at a summit of leaders from French-speaking countries in France. According to Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly, Canada has 6,000 citizens who have signed up for evacuation. Joly said that officials are working to reach an additional 2,500 Canadians over the weekend, and more flights are being added for Monday and Tuesday to facilitate the evacuation process.
