The UK government on Saturday urged its citizens in #Lebanon to leave the country immediately, amid fears of all-out war in the region. In a statement, the foreign ministry said British nationals should depart the Middle Eastern country “now while commercial options remain available”. “Tensions are high, and the situation could deteriorate rapidly,” said Foreign Minister David Lammy. “While we are working round the clock to strengthen our consular presence in Lebanon, my message to British nationals there is clear – leave now.”
Meanwhile, the US embassy in Lebanon urged its citizens to leave Lebanon on “any ticket available.” Despite flight suspensions and cancellations, “commercial transportation options to leave Lebanon remain available”, the embassy statement said. “We encourage those who wish to depart Lebanon to book any ticket available to them, even if that flight does not depart immediately or does not follow their first-choice route.”
