Britons have been urged to leave Syria immediately as the situation in the Middle East country continues to deteriorate amid civil unrest.
The Foreign Office said Britons should use "commercial means" to leave while they were still available.
In a statement the FCO said it would be "highly unlikely" its embassy in Damascus would be able to help if the situation were to deteriorate further.
Evacuation options would also "be limited" it added.'Number of deaths'
Violence between protesters opposed to Syria's leadership and the security forces has flared across the country in recent weeks.
The new advice comes amid reports of Syrian troops moving into a village firing guns and setting fire to houses, part of a campaign to crush a revolt in the north-west of the country.
The FCO has advised against travel to Syria for some time, but said its advice had been reviewed and reissued following "continued violent disturbances in urban centres across the country, including the capital Damascus".
