As tensions in the Middle East continue, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has been updating the list of countries Brits should not travel to. Of over 220 countries or territories with foreign travel advice pages, 76 are currently flagged as having no-go zones.
The warnings impact holiday hotspots like Thailand, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates, and Egypt, where Brits frequently enjoy holidays, Birmingham Live reports. Amid the Iran and US war, Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, has tried to reassure travellers.
The Prime Minister said: “I know the situation in the Middle East is worrying for British people in the region, and at home. It’s my duty as Prime Minister to keep British people safe. I will be answering questions on the steps we took over the weekend in Parliament.”
