The plight of Kenyans living and working in Lebanon remained in limbo despite government assurances that it had put in place proper structures to evacuate them as the airstrikes in the Middle East nation intensified on Wednesday morning. ''There are cohorts of Kenyans and other nationalities who have been forcibly moved from their areas of residence with some being held at homes,’’ the source revealed. ''I have been offering Kenyans and other nationalities advice on where to move to because they do not know the targeted areas. I have advised some of them to move to Mount Lebanon as the area is somehow safe,’’ he revealed. He also expressed fear that many Kenyans had not registered with the government despite reports that out of the estimated 26,000 Kenyans living in Lebanon, 7,000 had registered for evacuation.
