In Level 4 countries, the U.S. government may have " limited ability” to step in should travelers’ safety or security be at risk, according to the State Department.

A new Level 4 warning for the Northeast African nation of Sudan cautions of “extreme health risks and limited availability of medical care” and warns that medical evacuation could be required at a traveler’s expense.

“Do not travel to South Sudan due to risk of unrest, crime, kidnapping, landmines, and health threats,” the travel advisory reads.

Ecuador’s advisory has been revised to Level 2, where travelers must exercise increased caution, adding terrorism to the list of existing threats that include crime, unrest, and kidnapping.
