The UK is actively evacuating its nationals from Lebanon, organizing charter flights as the situation escalates due to increased military action and ongoing threats from Hezbollah.
Foreign Secretary David Lammy confirmed the first charter flight has departed and emphasized that more flights are being arranged based on demand and safety conditions.
Defence Secretary John Healey noted that RAF personnel are stationed in Cyprus to handle military threats and ensure the safety of British citizens in Lebanon.
Brigadier Paul Maynard highlighted that a variety of emergency evacuation options, including sea rescues, are in place should commercial flights become unavailable.
