Earlier today (March 6), the US Department of State updated its travel warning on Syria and advised:
The US continues to warn its citizens against travel to Syria and recommends that US citizens in Syria depart immediately.
The Department urges those remaining in Syria to leave while it is still possible, as borders may become more difficult to cross or may close without warning.
On February 6, the U.S. Embassy in Damascus suspended all operations in Syria, given ongoing violence and a deteriorating security situation. All official US Embassy personnel and their family members have departed. This Travel Warning supersedes the Travel Warning dated February 6, 2012, to update information about border crossings, and provide updated new contact information for direct inquiries regarding US citizens in Syria.
