Good to see our embassy being proactive! 🇮🇳 We have thousands of Indian workers and students in Israel who need this support. Hope the situation de-escalates soon. Prayers for everyone's safety.

While I appreciate the embassy's efforts, I wish our government would arrange evacuation flights like some other nations are doing. Our people working in caregiving jobs there may not have resources to leave on their own.

This Israel-Iran conflict is getting dangerous. India must maintain its balanced diplomacy - we have good relations with both countries. Our 8 million strong diaspora in Gulf countries could be affected if tensions spread.

My cousin is studying in Tel Aviv University. The university has moved all classes online and arranged bomb shelters. Scary situation but glad our embassy is in touch. 🙏

India should use this opportunity to bring back our nurses and caregivers from Israel. Many are stuck there due to financial constraints. This conflict shows we need better policies for migrant worker protection.

The embassy helpline numbers should be widely circulated on WhatsApp groups where Indian communities connect. Many workers may not be checking official channels regularly. Stay safe everyone!
