Andorra's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has closed 11 consular cases related to the Middle East conflict and repatriated six citizens and residents from the war zone, with nine more scheduled to depart this week.
The latest update confirms that the six individuals left the affected area over the weekend—originally set for Monday—and have now returned to Europe. This brings the total resolved cases to 11 out of 31 managed since US and Israeli strikes on Iran last Saturday. Two of the closures involved support from French consular services. The ministry is handling around 30 cases in total and continues efforts to assist those still in the region.
Minister Imma Tor provided the figures via social media, stating that "the safety of Andorrans and residents is our absolute priority." She noted the six were already en route earlier in the week, with five cases closed at that point.
Consular Affairs Department official Guillem Pons highlighted that the current weekly total exceeds last year's figure of 25 cases, which included issues like lost passports—prompting 19 safe-conduct passes for returns—natural disasters, and accidents.
In a government video shared online, the ministry outlined its crisis response protocols and urged travellers to register in advance, heed destination-country advice, consult official channels, and contact the consular emergency line at 324 292. The department maintains ongoing communication with Andorrans in the Middle East.
