UK Urges Citizens to Leave Syria

The British Foreign Office has issued an urgent advisory for its citizens in Syria, urging them to leave the country using any available means.

The warning comes amid ongoing conflict and deteriorating security conditions.

According to the advisory published on the Foreign Office website on March 29, British nationals currently in Syria are advised to depart as soon as possible.

The statement also cautioned that those affected by escalating hostilities should remain in a safe location until a secure exit becomes available. Some areas may be subject to curfews, and citizens are encouraged to follow local guidance and exercise caution.

The warning follows a similar alert from the US Embassy in Damascus, which has called for all American citizens in Syria to leave immediately.

The US State Department has also raised concerns over the increased likelihood of attacks during the Eid al-Fitr holiday, potentially targeting embassies, international organizations, and public institutions in Damascus.
