The Dutch ministry of foreign affairs was the only one which said they have evacuated some of their 17 local staff, as well as all international staff
Of those that replied, the Dutch ministry of foreign affairs was the only one which said they have evacuated some of their 17 local staff, as well as all international staff. A spokesman said further assistance for those left behind is “very limited,” though they will “continue to support them”. The spokesperson said their information is that “local employees are doing well, despite the circumstances,” and they would continue to support local staff “to the extent possible”.
On April 25th, the Dutch foreign ministry tweeted at one person affected saying “we deeply regret the current situation you’re in. We were forced to close the embassy and evacuate our staff. Unfortunately, this means we can’t get to your passport. We advise [you] to apply for a new passport with your local authorities.”
