In 2006, during the crisis in Lebanon, IOM arranged the safe evacuation and transport of seventy-seven Vietnamese nationals who wished to return home. As part of the process, IOM emergency operations staff on the ground in Lebanon and Syria assisted the Viet Nam Ministry of Foreign Affairs representative with logistical support, facilitating expeditious travel documentation issuance for the group of evacuees.
