Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly : "I want to make sure that you are brought to safety, and please take the seat" Canada has been urging citizens and permanent residents to leave Lebanon by commercial means.

About 650 seats were reserved for Canadian citizens on two flights from Beirut to Istanbul on Thursday .

More than 340 Canadians left on government-reserved flights earlier this week .

Canada has yet to order a military evacuation, despite other countries doing so.

Ferial El Kadri says her husband and son do not have Canadian citizenship.

She has had no luck getting a hold of Global Affairs Canada to get temporary visa status for her family.

The government says those offered a seat on a flight must be ready to leave within 24 hours , but it is not helping people get to airport.
