Israel Warns Citizens in Ecuador of Extreme Weather Risks
Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a travel advisory on Thursday, urging Israelis in Ecuador to exercise caution due to ocean warming linked to the El Niño phenomenon. The ministry recommended that citizens stay updated on local authority guidelines and avoid areas prone to floods, mudslides, and water flows. Travelers were also advised against crossing rivers, streams, or flooded roads, even if water levels appear low.
Ecuadorian authorities have declared a nationwide red alert in response to El Niño, instructing local governments to enhance preparedness for extreme weather events. El Niño, caused by an unusual warming of Pacific Ocean waters, impacts rainfall patterns, temperatures, and winds. In Ecuador, it can lead to intense rains, floods, and rising river levels in some regions, while others may experience heat and drought.
