The US state department added at least 116 countries this week to its “Level Four: Do Not Travel” advisory list, including nearly every country in the Middle East.
The only country excluded from the level four status was Morocco, which sits at level three, warning Americans to reconsider travel.
On Monday, the state department said it would boost the number of countries receiving its highest advisory rating to about 80 per cent of countries worldwide.
Before Tuesday, the state department listed 34 out of about 200 countries as "Do Not Travel."
The countries previously included were Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen.
The state department now lists 150 countries at level four.
