<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,
subject to national security concerns. 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. If a minor is unable to do so, a request can be made on their behalf.
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>
