Governments worldwide are scrambling to evacuate thousands of their citizens from the escalating Israel-Iran conflict, deploying buses, planes and even helping people flee on foot across borders.
Foreigners have rushed to leave both countries after Israel launched an unprecedented bombing campaign last Friday targeting Iran's nuclear and military facilities, sparking retaliation from Tehran.
But with Israel's airspace closed and the two countries exchanging heavy missile fire, many people are being evacuated from third countries.
European countries have already repatriated hundreds of their citizens from Israel.
The Czech Republic and Slovakia said Tuesday they had taken 181 people home on government planes.
