His announcement is coming in reaction to a tweet by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, which says: “The UK is chartering more flights to help British nationals leave Lebanon.
If you have registered your presence in Lebanon, you will be sent details on how to request a seat.
If you have not already registered your presence, you are urged to do so immediately.”
The FCDO announcement is coming following heightened tensions in Lebanon as a result of intense fighting between Israeli forces and Hezbollah.
Lammy quoted @FCDOGovUK ‘s tweet and commented: “A third UK government charter flight has left Lebanon to help British nationals leave.
The situation is volatile. Flights are limited but seats are available.
British nationals who want to leave should register their presence now to receive details on how to request a seat.”
