[From the Dean] Regarding the Travel Suspension Advisory Due to the Deteriorating Situation in the Middle East Important
In response to the worsening situation in the Middle East, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has raised the risk level for relevant countries from Level 2 (Avoid non-essential travel) to Level 3 (Travel suspension advisory). Consequently, the University Headquarters has instructed that faculty, staff, and students currently staying in Level 3 countries or regions be requested to evacuate and return to Japan.
For your safety, we request that all students and faculty/staff members cancel any travel to these countries/regions, including transit flights.
The future situation remains highly uncertain, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' risk advisory may be further revised. We urge all students and faculty/staff to stay informed about the latest developments and actively gather information.
(Countries where the risk level was raised on March 5) Kuwait, Saudi Arabia (Eastern Region), Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Oman
*Israel and Bahrain were previously at Level 3
