According to Indonesia's Foreign Ministry, as many as 20 Indonesian nationals and one foreign national reportedly arrived here on Monday morning. The foreign national is the spouse of one of the Indonesian evacuees, Xinhua news agency reported.

All of them were transported by aeroplane from Amman, the capital of Jordan, on Sunday, it said.

The ministry also reported that more than 40 Indonesians had been evacuated from the Lebanese capital of Beirut to Amman.

More evacuees were expected to arrive here on Monday.
