Protest at U.S. Embassy Today
| This warden message is to advise American citizens to avoid visiting the U.S. Embassy today (Thursday, June 10, 2010).
The U.S. Embassy has been advised that a demonstration is
planned at our location in Ben Ashour at approximately noon today,
concerning the situation in Gaza. In order to ensure your safety and
security, please avoid visiting the Embassy and traveling
in the Jerraba Street-Ben Ashour area throughout the day.
The Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy is located in the Ben
Ashour neighborhood on Jeraba Street behind the former Libyan-Swiss
Clinic. Our phone numbers are 021-337-3100 during business hours or
091-366-2696 (after-hours number for emergencies involving
American citizens only).
Americans traveling abroad should regularly monitor the U.S. Embassy’s website and the U.S. Department of State
Bureau of Consular Affairs’ website,
where the current Worldwide Caution, Travel Warnings, and Travel Alerts
can be found. The U.S. Embassy also encourages U.S. citizens to review
“A
Safe Trip Abroad,”
which includes valuable security information for those both residing
and traveling abroad. U.S. citizens may also call the Office of
Overseas Citizens Services in the United States for the latest travel
information. The Office
of Overseas Citizens Services can be reached from 8:00 a.m. until 8:00
p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, Monday through Friday, by calling
