In their latest report, the FCDO alerted that the organisation has updated the list and added eight more countries.

According to the latest FCDO alert, the total number of banned destinations is 24, Geo News reported.

Additionally, the Foreign Office has also issued a red list, according to Geo News.

The countries included in the red list represent those regions where travel should be avoided “unless absolutely essential.”

“If you’re planning to travel somewhere from the UK, remember not to visit the blacklisted countries or countries on the red list,” it added.

In 2023, Pakistan witnessed 1,524 violence-related fatalities and 1,463 injuries from 789 terror attacks and counter-terror operations, including nearly 1,000 fatalities among civilians and security forces personnel, reported Dawn.

Moreover, overall fatalities, including those of outlaws, marked a record six-year high, exceeding the 2018 level and the highest since 2017.

Reportedly, the country saw a surge in violence for the third consecutive year with an uptick recorded each year beginning from 2021.
