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 woman trying to flee Lebanon with her children has told Sky News she feels 'torn' as her husband has to stay behind - and claimed the UK has 'no plan of action' to help its citizens in the Middle Eastern country. Mahasen al-Dada, from Manchester, said she was told to book commercial flights home but discovered there are none available until the second week of October.
'My children are still young and I can't be selfish and leave them in this situation because they don't deserve to hear things or see things that could potentially destroy them,' she said. Ms al-Dada has been calling the UK Foreign Office's travel advice line, but the experience has not left her feeling reassured.
