UK charter flight leaves Lebanon, more planned in coming days

A charter flight taking British citizens out of Lebanon has left the country, British foreign minister David Lammy said on Wednesday, adding that more such flights were planned in the coming days.

"The first charter flight taking British nationals out of Lebanon has now departed," Lammy said in a post on X.

"We have arranged another flight for tomorrow, and further flights over the coming days for as long as there is demand and it is safe to do so."
