Qatar Clears Doha’s Government and University Districts

14 March 2026

Qatari authorities evacuated people from certain areas in the Msheireb district, in Doha, which include government offices and a Google office, in the early hours of Saturday local time (still Friday in Brasília), witnesses reported.

Witnesses also said authorities cleared sites in Doha’s Education City, which hosts the campuses of six American universities.

Evacuation orders were issued after Qatar’s Interior Ministry announced the removal of people from a ‘number of specific areas as a temporary precautionary measure’, without providing details, about an hour before authorities reported missile interceptions in Qatar.
