Since Operation PITTING ended, the FCDO has supported over 1,100 British nationals and their family members to leave Afghanistan safely. This includes over 200 British nationals and dependents that have departed on Qatari charter flights from Kabul to Doha. We are working closely with international partners to facilitate routes out of Afghanistan. Full diplomatic and consular services are available at regional Embassies and High Commissions outside of Afghanistan.
