Israelis in Peru: Rescue underway, Foreign Ministry reiterates travel warning
Dozens of Israelis got stuck in the country after political unrest crippled the transportation systems - now they are on the way home.
The Israel Foreign Ministry reiterated the current travel warning for Peru on Saturday after the latter's new government declared a 30-day state of emergency on Wednesday, granting police special powers and limiting citizens' rights.
The travel warning recommends Israelis in the country to stay away from demonstrations and public gatherings and closely follow local media and the Foreign Ministry's warnings.
The statement further specified the regions of Cusco and Machu Pichu as especially dangerous because roads and highways there have been blocked by demonstrators, while railways and the International Airport have ceased to function.
