BBC: British citizens are being urged to leave Syria unless they have a "pressing need to remain" there, following weeks of unrest.
The Foreign Office "strongly advises" Britons to leave because of the "rapid deterioration" in law and order.
It says the British Embassy may not be able to provide normal consular assistance if the situation worsens.
At least 100 people have died in the last two days of protests against the rule of President Bashar al-Assad.
'Better way'
The Foreign Office advised British nationals to leave the country while commercial airlines were still flying.
Earlier this week, the UK advised Britons to consider leaving Syria but has now stepped up the warning. It also advises against all travel to the country. » | Sunday, April 24, 2011
