The embassy noted that it received 404 reservation requests for the flight, but priority would be given to students, displaced individuals, and those in precarious situations, particularly those still in high-risk areas in southern Lebanon.

Additionally, Tunisians without family support or those with health issues would also receive priority, the embassy added.
