EU countries have continued to evacuate their citizens from Lebanon as hostilities between
00:07
Israel and Hezbollah escalate. Germany flew another 130 of its citizens out of the country
00:14
on board a military plane that landed in Frankfurt. The German foreign ministry said in a post
00:19
on X that the evacuation plane also brought five tons of aid, particularly medical equipment,
00:25
into the Lebanese capital. Greece also sent a military transport plane to Beirut on Thursday
00:32
to bring home both Greek and Cypriot nationals who wanted to leave Lebanon. The C-130, carrying
00:38
38 Cypriots and 22 Greeks, landed in Cyprus before heading to a military airfield near
00:44
Athens later in the day. Greece's foreign ministry says it's established hotlines for
00:50
its citizens living in Lebanon to call if they require assistance in leaving the country.
00:56
Spain evacuated the first group of its citizens on Thursday, bringing 250 people home on board
01:03
two military planes which landed at an airbase near the capital Madrid. The Spanish foreign
01:08
ministry said the situation in Lebanon is so serious that part of the embassy staff
01:13
will also be airlifted out of Beirut on a second plane, leaving only a skeleton staff
01:18
behind to carry out essential diplomatic work.
01:22
And France has also started evacuating its citizens, with the first group arriving on
01:27
one of four flights that landed at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris. The French embassy
01:32
in Lebanon has reportedly negotiated two additional flights to Paris with the Lebanese national
01:37
airline MEA. Meanwhile, flag carrier Air France says it suspended all passenger flights to
01:43
Lebanon until at least the 8th of October.
