Three British nationals are missing following the earthquakes which struck Turkey and Syria, the foreign secretary has said.
Making a statement in the Commons, James Cleverly said: “As of this morning, we know that three British nationals are missing.”
He added that the Foreign Office’s Crisis Response Hub is working to support at least 35 British nationals who have been directly affected by the earthquakes.
“We assess that the likelihood of large-scale British casualties remains low,” Mr Cleverly said.
