WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States is offering limited services to the remaining American citizens in Syria through the Czech Embassy in Damascus.

The State Department announced the change Wednesday in a travel warning. After Washington shut its embassy in Damascus earlier this year, it offered some services to Americans through the Polish Embassy.

But now Poland has shut its offices in Syria.

The travel warning reiterated the call for all Americans still in Syria to leave the country.
