Israel Warns Citizens in Ecuador of Extreme Weather Due to El Niño
Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a warning to Israeli citizens currently in Ecuador, urging them to exercise caution due to extreme weather conditions brought on by the developing El Niño phenomenon. The ministry advises Israelis to stay updated on local authorities' directives and to avoid crossing flooded rivers, streams, or roads.
Ecuadorian authorities have declared a red alert nationwide in anticipation of El Niño's effects, which are predicted to include heavy rains, floods, rising river levels, and landslides in some areas, alongside drought and heat in others. The phenomenon is caused by an unusual warming of ocean waters, impacting global weather patterns.
Israeli nationals in Ecuador are specifically advised to avoid areas prone to flooding and landslides and to refrain from traveling through or attempting to cross flooded waterways, even if water levels appear low. In case of emergency, individuals can contact the local emergency number 911, the Israeli Embassy in Quito at +59323971500, or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' situation room in Jerusalem at 02-5303155 or via fax at 02-5303896.
