The Foreign Office's do not travel list has expanded over the years with a number of countries added, but 31 countries are now on the no travel list for Brits
The UK Foreign Office has updated its advisory, placing 31 countries on a "no travel" list due to a spectrum of safety and security concerns.
Out of the nearly 200 nations globally, these destinations have been earmarked as no-go zones for UK travellers, with threats encompassing terrorism, conflict and severe weather phenomena. Officials have cautioned that non-compliance with this guidance can render a traveller's standard insurance void, essentially leaving them without protection.
Beyond travel advisories, the Foreign Office also offers insight into necessary entry requirements, local health hazards and unique legal frameworks in these territories. The basis for these government alerts ranges from active warfare and unsettled politics to the looming threat of terror activities, reports the Express.
Environmental dangers such as rampant wildfires, violent tornadoes, and devastating tsunamis are also factored into these considerations. For instance, parts of Israel and the occupied Palestinian areas are on the list, primarily owing to persistent hostilities.
