With the current conflict situation in Israel, the Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment (SLBFE) has decided to introduce two special telephone numbers to get information about Sri Lankan workers in the country.
Accordingly, it is possible to get relevant information through WhatsApp number +94716640560 or through the hotline 1989 of the SLBFE.
At present, about 8,000 Sri Lankans are working in Israel and 90 percent of them are engaged in providing nursing services.
Meanwhile, Labour and Foreign Employment Minister Manusha Nanayakkara contacted the Sri Lankan Embassy in Israel and inquired about the situation of the Sri Lankans.
He had already instructed the SLBFE to take all necessary measures to ensure the safety of the Sri Lankan workers.
