Britons likely to leave Gaza 'in stages', says UK foreign ministry

Britain said on Wednesday the departure of its nationals from beseiged Gaza would likely take place in stages over the coming days.

"We understand the (Rafah) crossing will be open for controlled and time-limited periods to allow specific groups of foreign nationals and the seriously wounded to leave," Britain's foreign office said in a post on X.

"It is therefore likely the departure of British nationals from Gaza will take place in stages over the coming days."
