Ghana says it’s taking steps to carry out an emergency evacuation of its citizens caught up in Qatar in the wake of the US-Israeli war which has seen other countries in the Middle East including Qatar being attacked by drones and ballistic missiles.
The Ghanaian Embassy in Qatar announced the plans for the emergency evacuation exercise.
In a notice dated March 15, 2026, the embassy disclosed that the decision by the government follows an earlier communication issued on March 6, 2026, regarding the evolving security situation.
The statement noted that the evacuation arrangement will strictly be a one-way exercise from Qatar to Ghana.
It told Ghanaians currently residing in Qatar who wish to be evacuated to immediately reconfirm their interest by submitting the biodata pages of their passports via email.
Those interested are expected to send the required information to doha@mfa.gov.gh no later than Tuesday, March 17, 2026.
The embassy emphasized that the exercise is being organized as a precautionary measure in response to the heightened security situation in the region.
The announcement comes amid growing concerns about security developments across parts of the Middle East, prompting several countries to review contingency plans for their citizens abroad.
