The safety of all British nationals continues to be our utmost priority. We are using all the tools available to us to maximise our chances of bringing British nationals back home to their loved ones. The Foreign Secretary will work with his Israeli counterparts along with international partners to establish a safe passage for more British nationals out of Gaza, following the opening of the Rafah Crossing. We are not commenting on numbers of British citizens within Gaza in order to protect ongoing operations.
