The Jersey Consumer Council extends its thoughts to all those affected by the recent events in the Middle East.

We recognise that many Islanders have family, friends, or professional ties to the region, and we understand how concerning this situation may be for them.

 Anyone considering travel to the region, or who has close connections there, is strongly advised to review the latest UK guidance published by Gov.uk.
