Lebanon: British Nationals Abroad
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, how many UK citizens were in Lebanon on 1 October 2024.
Answered by Mr Hamish Falconer
As of 7 October, 2100 British nationals have registered their presence in Lebanon. Any remaining British nationals who want to leave are urged to register their presence immediately. Based on our contacts so far, we anticipate that only a fraction of those registered want to leave due to their strong ties in the country. The UK has helped over 430 people leave on four UK government charter flights taking British nationals out of Lebanon. Due to reduced demand, no further charter flights are planned, but we will continue to monitor the situation closely.
