The United Kingdom is chartering flights to evacuate British citizens who want to leave Lebanon and the escalating conflict there between Hezbollah and Israel.
And Canada has booked 800 seats on regular flights and is urging its citizens to leave Lebanon immediately.
"The situation in Lebanon is highly unpredictable and there is a risk that it could rapidly deteriorate", says British Foreign Minister David Lammy in a statement.
And Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly writes on X:
"If you are a Canadian citizen in Lebanon, you must leave now".
The plan that the United Kingdom has chartered is scheduled to take off from Beirut's international airport on Wednesday. Depending on demand, there may be more flights.
"The safety of British citizens in Lebanon remains our top priority", emphasizes Lammy.
Last week, the United Kingdom sent 700 soldiers to Cyprus to prepare for a possible evacuation of citizens from Lebanon.
