British nationals have been urged to leave Syria now because of the civil unrest in the Middle East country.
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) said Britons should use commercial flights to leave while they are still available.
In a statement the FCO said it would be "highly unlikely" that its embassy in Damascus would be able to help if the situation were to deteriorate further.
Evacuation options would also "be limited" it added.
