Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said for Britons still in the country, "the time to leave is now" British expat Chloe Lewin , 24 , said she is due to get a flight out of Lebanon on Friday .

She said: "You can't get out this week because they're all full and every time you get to the last page of the booking, it just crashes and says you can't book a flight".

Tensions have been growing across the Middle East since Hamas gunmen attacked Israel on 7 October last year , killing about 1,200 people and taking 251 others as hostages.
