She pointed to countries, including France and Italy, who have already evacuated people, and said it"raises some really serious questions" about why the UK hasn't done the same.Ms Brown added:"While we maintain backing for unified international pressure for a permanent ceasefire, we are clear the government should be evacuating as many British nationals as possible, as quickly as possible.
He said:"Movement around the capital remains extremely dangerous and no evacuation option comes without grave risk to life. The minister said diplomats were evacuated first because"we believe they were in extreme danger - fighting was going on either side of the embassy".
