I googled Lebanon just now and I can't find a news service willing to go on line with figures stated by Radio 4. I'm sure this will change through the day. The closest I got was the BBC's site which says "Hundreds evacuated from Lebanon" before going on to say
Some 2,000 foreign nationals have been evacuated from Beirut as operations gather pace to help them escape the escalating crisis in Lebanon.Israel is actually causing thousands, maybe tens of thousands, to flee Lebanon whilst making it almost impossible for them to do so. Before Israel was established many on the left warned that zionism would create a death trap for Jews. I suppose it's egalitarian of Israel to turn Lebanon into a death trap too.
With Beirut airport damaged by Israeli air strikes, the only routes out are by sea to Cyprus or by bus to Syria.
