Mahasen al-Dada tells Sky News that bombs appeared to be getting 'closer and closer' to her home - and she now faces the prospect of fleeing the country with her children but without her husband.
A British mother-of-two in Lebanon has claimed the UK has 'no plan of action' to help its citizens flee the country as she faces a near-two week wait for a flight. Mahasen al-Dada, from Manchester, said she was told to book commercial flights home but discovered there are none available until 8 October.
'It was really scary, it was something I've never been through before until now. It's really surreal, it feels like I'm awake but I'm dreaming.' She said she felt 'torn' and 'selfish' for leaving her partner in a country on the brink of war but their sons must be the priority.
