No Ghanaian has been killed or injured in the escalating conflict between the United States, Israel and Iran, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has assured.

In a Facebook post on Tuesday evening, Mr Ablakwa said he had convened a virtual meeting with Ghana’s Ambassadors and Consuls-General in the Middle East to review the situation and strengthen protective measures for Ghanaian nationals in the region.

“I am glad to report that so far no Ghanaian has been killed or injured,” he stated.

The emergency meeting brought together Heads of Mission for Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Iran and Turkey. According to the Minister, the discussions focused on assessing the latest developments and exploring additional consular interventions.

“This evening, I convened a virtual meeting with our Ambassadors and Consuls General in the Middle East to assess the latest developments and explore additional consular interventions towards the protection of Ghanaians,” he wrote.

Mr Ablakwa disclosed that the Ministry had compiled a comprehensive database of Ghanaians living in or travelling through the affected countries. “We have put together a reliable database of all Ghanaians in these countries including those who were on short visits and those who were transiting,” he said.

He added that all Ghanaian missions in the region had been directed to identify citizens who wished to be evacuated. “All missions have been tasked to identify Ghanaians within their jurisdictions who wish to be evacuated for the urgent consideration of government,” he noted.

In addition, he revealed that diplomatic missions were already facilitating safe passage for some nationals. “Meanwhile, our diplomatic missions are currently assisting a considerable number of Ghanaians escape across certain strategic border crossings,” he said.

“The safety and welfare of all Ghanaians remains our utmost priority,” the Minister emphasised, concluding with, “For God and Country ????????.”

The reassurances come against the backdrop of an intensifying conflict that began on February 28, 2026, following a joint large-scale offensive by US and Israeli forces against Iran. The confrontation has since led to retaliatory missile and drone attacks across parts of the Middle East, heightening security concerns for foreign nationals in the region.

Ghana’s Foreign Affairs Ministry says it will continue to monitor developments closely while coordinating with its diplomatic missions to safeguard Ghanaian citizens.
