The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has asked the general public to disregard viral video of Ghanaians allegedly caught up in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas.
In a statement, the Ministry stated categorically that the incident in the said video did not occur in Gaza nor Israel, or anywhere related to the ongoing conflict. It has therefore urged the public to disregard this misleading video.
“The Ministry further urges the public to contact the Ghana Embassy in Israel, through the following hotlines in the event of any concerns or emergencies related to Ghanaian citizens:
No. 00972 54 8662 281, 00972 54 9316 007, 00972 54 674 1553″ The statement added.
It has assured the general public that the Ghanaian Community in Israel is currently safe. The Ministry said it will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates in due course. In that regard, it seeks the cooperation of the public to avoid the dissemination of fake news.
