<p>The Foreign Secretary has made clear that the Government will seek to assist any
British unaccompanied minors and orphans in Syria, who are brought to our attention.
The UK has no consular presence within Syria from which to provide assistance, but
we carefully consider all requests.</p><p>Our advice to any British national abroad
who needs emergency help from the British Government is to contact the nearest British
Embassy or Consulate, which in this case will be outside Syria. A request can be made
on behalf of a minor. British nationals can also call the Foreign and Commonwealth
Office (FCO) in London 24 hours a day 7 days a week. The number is clearly advertised
on FCO Syria Travel Advice pages.</p>
